HaTi

128. Harty, Beppu A spa salon that offers an enzyme bath on rice bran, but with tap water. You need to book in advance on the website. Price: ¥3500. They do not stamp the stamp rally booklet. Towels are provided. The entrance can be found by the video on Google Maps. There were two staff members, and we communicated through a translator. On the form, they asked me to write only my name, and it seems they left the rest blank because of the language barrier. Then they gave me a translated explanation saying the procedure is quite a strain on the body. They poured in water. Before the procedure, they did not ask us to wash, and we were taken straight to the changing room in the room with the enzyme bath. The bath photos online matched what it looked like. The bath had a strong smell of dried bread. Breathing was fine. There was a shallow pit dug in the bath for the body. They tell you where to put your head and where to put your feet. Then they cover your body with the material by hand, but they leave your toes a little exposed and do not cover your face. The enzymes are warm, but not very hot. After about 10 to 12 minutes, a woman came and gave me cold water through a straw, and offered to continue for 5 or 10 minutes. I chose 5, but in fact, judging by the clock, it turned into 7. After the shower, there was cold tea available. Overall, it was much easier to lie there than at Kaju, but it still felt like a noticeable strain on the body. I would rate the difficulty at around 65 to 70% of Kaju. It is hard to judge the effect on the skin, since I went straight to the onsen, and I had a similar procedure yesterday in terms of purpose. This is easier than Kaju, but still harder than the sand bath at Takegawara. If you are looking at an enzyme onsen, then of course it makes sense to go to Kaju, where they use onsen water. But if you are not sure you can handle it, and still want to try it, then this place is an option. 02.05.2024
