「八方の湯」の露天風呂 (屋外浴場) の湯は大変特別なもので、日本温泉総合研究所の調査によると、温泉水から測定した水素濃度が高いことが裏付けられました。水素の豊富な温泉は、浸かったり飲んだりすることで、アンチエイジング効果が見込めます。

*水素濃度の上昇は入浴5分後にピークに達します。

お湯の水素濃度

> 湯口 : 120ppb / 浴槽内 : 50~60ppb


The water at onsen (hot spring) facility Happo no Yu’s open-air bath is very special indeed. A study by the Nippon Onsen Research Institute revealed that the spring has a significantly elevated level of hydrogen concentration. Drinking or bathing in this hydrogen-rich onsen water is said to achieve anti-aging effects.


*You will experience peak hydrogen concentration five minutes after entering the bath: the ppb (parts per billion) you will encounter is 50–60, although at the hot spring’s tap that rises to an amazing 120 ppb.
