About hot spring facilities in Japan

In Japan, it is customary to bathe naked and in separate facilities for men and women in hot springs, as opposed to the practice in other countries where swimsuits may be worn and bathing is co-ed. There are also certain prohibitions to be aware of when enjoying Japanese hot springs. Prohibited items or practices, such as tattoos, vary depending on the facility, so please make sure to check the website or other sources of information before visiting.

About the source

"Fuji Chobo no Yu Yurari Onsen" is located in Aokigahara Jukai, and is a natural hot spring formed in the mobile zone at the foot of Mt. Fuji. This hot spring consists of green tuff bedrock (green tuff) that contains hydrothermal deposits from submarine volcanoes that were active about 15 million years ago. Rich in mineral ingredients that have been recharged over a long period of time in a fault fracture zone 1,500 meters underground, it is a full-fledged natural fissure hot spring.

※Fissure-type natural hot spring: A natural hot spring that gushes out from cracks and fissures (fissures) in the underground bedrock. It is formed by rock faults and fractures caused by crustal activity, earthquakes, etc.

In terms of composition, cations such as calcium ions, magnesium ions, sodium ions, and iron ions and anions such as sulfate ions, chloride ions, and carbonate ions are abundantly contained in a well-balanced manner. Due to its weak alkaline properties, it acts on weakly acidic skin, and is expected to enhance the hot spring effect by more effectively absorbing cations such as calcium, sodium, magnesium, and iron.
