The natural free-flowing hot spring water contains skin-friendly qualities and has become popular as an “onsen for beautiful skin.”

Some bathtubs use free-flowing hot spring water, while the large indoor bathtub uses circulation and filtration to protect hot spring resources and maintain hygiene. Water may be added when the temperature feels too hot, and heating helps keep the bath suitable for bathing. Chlorinated chemicals are used for hygiene control.
