Cure your stomach problems!
Carbonated springs at Hida-osaka have been considered as a stomach medicine since old times. They can help ease your constipation or enteropathy. The water may not be easy to drink due to its metallic taste, but you can use it for cooking. For example, when you cook tofu or rice with it, these ingredients will become softer and more delicious!
Enhance your skin!
Carbonated springs at Hida-osaka are slightly acidic. Among their ingredients are sodium bicarbonate, which has high-cleansing power for your skin, and ions such as sodium and magnesium to make your skin resilient, smooth, and soft.
