Certified in 2025, the onsen water contains six essential natural minerals, each known for its therapeutic benefits
Copper (Cu) supports antibacterial protection and healthy skin
Iron (Fe) enhances blood circulation and natural radiance
Sulfate (SO₄²⁻) detoxifies the skin and relieves muscle tension
Chloride (Cl⁻) refreshes the body and balances skin minerals
Zinc (Zn) promotes skin healing and reduces inflammation
Manganese (Mn) acts as an antioxidant, helping maintain youthful skin
