Hot Springs

    The pure alkaline hot spring has the effect of removing aged keratin from the skin. In addition, it protects collagen which makes the skin soft. The lukewarm bath helps your skin retain moisture.

    The pure alkaline hot spring is colorless and transparent. It is well known as “the hot spring for beautiful skin,” as it stimulates natural moisturizers in the skin. Sweating in a sauna of about 90℃ activates the metabolism and removes metabolic waste from your body. It also has a “detox effect”, which is effective in eliminating sensitivity to cold and swelling.
