Natural Hot Spring Kashiwa-no-ha, a place that heals the mind and body, has three main strengths,
according to onsen critic Gunji Isamu.
First is the water’s high salt content.
This 40.6°C saline spring (similar to seawater) prevents sweat from evaporating on the skin and has great heat retention, keeping the bathwater warm.
Second is the abundance of hot water.
The amount of water that comes from the spring is 300 liters per minute, making it a wonderful source that is the equivalent of four to five Japanese hot spring inns.
And third is the color and aroma of the baths.
The color of the spring is a light brown, and the water has a uniwue and pleasant quality. The natural aroma, which can be described as the scent of the seashore, adds to the hot spring’s atmosphere.
