The Famous “Beautifying Hot Springs” of Hirugami Hot Spring

The natural spring water of Hirugami springs forth in abundance deep within the mountains and features exceptional water quality that hydrates the skin and warms the soul. Enjoy the exquisite comfort of the large communal baths and open-air baths.
Alkaline springs remove dead skin cells, making skin smooth and supple, which is why Hirugami Hot Spring, renowned for its high alkalinity, is one of the premier beautifying hot springs in Japan.
The way it polishes and smooths the complexion then hydrates with sodium ions is why it is adored especially by women.
