Ogo Onsen Spring Quality and Benefits
The quality of the hot spring water at Ogo Onsen is high alkaline simple hot spring with a pH value of 9.0. There is a standard pH value of 3 to 8.5, and Ogo Onsen exceeding this standard is what is called “hot water for beautiful skin” where you can feel your skin smooth after taking a bath.
As for the concentration of the hot spring, it is a hypotonic alkaline hot spring, meaning that the total amount of dissolved substances in the mineral spring, such as cations and anions, is less than 8 g in 1 kg of water. The majority of hot springs in Japan are of this hypotonicity, and because they cause little irritation to the body, they are safe for people with sensitive skin and pregnant women to bathe in.
