Carbonic acid spring in Kosaka

What is a natural carbon dioxide spring?

Literally, a naturally carbonated (carbon dioxide) hot spring.
Among the many hot spring resorts in Japan, there are only about 21 TP3T natural carbonated springs.
Among these, those with a carbon dioxide concentration of 1,000 ppm or higher are referred to as high-concentration natural carbonated springs. With only 0.51% of hot springs nationwide meeting this criterion, they are extremely rare.

What are the features of Hida Ozaka's carbon dioxide spring?

Kosaka's natural carbonated springs are all high-concentration natural carbonated springs. They are also hot springs that can be drunk. Yuya Onsen has a history of about 400 years. According to Edo period documents, Yuya Onsen has been introduced as "medicinal hot water" since that time, and it is a historic natural carbonated spring with a long tradition of drinking and hot spring therapy.

What is it good for?

Good for the stomach!

This hot spring has been called a stomachic medicine since ancient times. It is expected to improve constipation and digestive disorders. It has a strong iron taste and is difficult to drink as it is, but it can also be used as cooking water. When used to make porridge or boiled tofu, it softens the ingredients and makes them easier to eat. It also tastes good!

Good for your skin!

Kosaka's natural carbonic acid spring is neutral to slightly acidic. Among the ingredients contained, the baking soda component is highly effective in cleansing the skin and is a natural cleanser. In addition, the sodium and magnesium ions contained in the water are expected to tighten the skin and maintain its texture and moisture.
