It is offered as a luxurious free-flowing natural hot spring with no heating or added water, and is characterized by a gentle bathing feel that blends smoothly into the skin. It slowly warms you from the core, keeps you from cooling down easily afterward, and gently soothes travel fatigue and stiff muscles.
