Some facilities use artificial springs or groundwater, providing a wide variety of spring types. Many spots offer sauna and stone bath facilities as well, so consider planning a day-use hot spring trip alongside your sightseeing in Osaka.
About Their Effects and Benefits
When enjoying day-use hot springs in Osaka, it’s good to know about the different spring qualities!
The “sodium bicarbonate spring” type, common in Osaka, is also known as “beauty skin water,” gently removing dead skin and leaving your skin feeling moist.
“Carbonated springs” promote blood circulation, making them effective for poor circulation and stiff shoulders, while “simple hot springs” have little stimulation, making them safe for children and seniors, and are expected to help with neuralgia, muscle pain, and recovery from fatigue.
Choose your day-use hot spring according to the effects you want to experience!
