Bedrock bath with KIYOSEKI
The bedrock bath offers premium facilities decorated entirely (the floor, wall, and ceiling), with Kiyoseki, a stone mined only in Katashina village.
The bath is said to have skin-smoothing and detoxing effects.
We highly recommend that you experience this wonderful bath for yourself.
■Bedrock bath with 100% Kiyoseki stone.
Kiyoseki stone has been attracting much attention as it was verified that it emits negative ions in an amount which is relatively large for natural rocks. The quantity of far-infrared radiation also outclasses other natural rocks.
‘Hanasaku-no-yu spa’ offers premium bedrock bath facilities decorated entirely with Guiyang stone (the floor, wall, and ceiling).
The negative ion and far-infrared radiation will help you sweat out healthy perspiration. Expected effects are skin-smoothing treatment and detoxing.
Enhancing beauty, improving physical fitness, improving excessive sensitivity to cold, increasing memory, and dieting effects
Detoxing effects, improving blood circulation, soothing effect, easing stiff shoulders and headache pain.
■Kiyoseki, a natural stone mined only in Katashina village
The rare natural stone mined only in Katashina village has been attracting much attention for its health-benefits since it was verified to emit negative ions at an amount relatively large for natural rocks.
■ I usually stay away from Saunas. Will I be OK?
Yes, you will. Unlike high- temperature Saunas, the far-infrared rays in the bedrock bath warms up the whole body gradually.
At the right humidity level in the spa, you will not get tired or feel as if you are not getting enough air, and what’s more, it will help you sweat out a healthy perspiration just like after playing sports. We can recommend the Sauna to just about everyone. It’s worthy of a try.
The Kiyoseki stone was found in a stratum formed as a consequence of earthquake-triggered heat treatment prior to about 65 million years ago.
Kiyoseki stone is said to have a relaxing, skin-smoothing and detoxing effect because it generates a large mass of negative ions and far-infrared ray.
The natural stone is mined only in Katashina Oze, a village richly endowed with nature.
