The Luxury of Natural Hot Springs

NATURAL HOT SPRING
The Power of the Source
Hekigetsu's waters are among the finest simple alkaline springs in Beppu. With a pH of 8.2, our mildly alkaline water is gentle on the skin and known as "beautifying waters." We deliver our abundant 68°C source water without any dilution or reheating.
Effective for neuralgia, muscle pain, joint pain, cold sensitivity, and fatigue recovery. After bathing, your skin will feel silky smooth — a hallmark of Beppu's legendary hot springs.
