Akaogi no Yu

赤尾木の湯

The quality of the spring is called a sodium hydrocarbonate spring. This is characterized by removing each old layer to give you smooth skin. It also has a quality of being so-called “beautiful skin hot water.” This is because it has a cleansing effect (skin beautifying effect) as it is weakly alkaline (pH7.5 to less than pH 8.5). Hydrocarbonate springs are called one of the three major springs for beautiful people together with sulfate springs and sulfur springs. It has a quality that you can expect to have a therapeutic effect because it is named as a recuperation spring that is not simply a hot spring. Please enjoy this first hot spring that flows directly from the source in Tanegashima with its natural carbonic acid components that will stick to your body.
