128 (3). Hearty, Beppu (NON_ONSEN) 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. No stamp is given. Towels are provided. The entrance can be found by watching the video on Google Maps. There were two staff members, and we communicated through a translator. On the form, they asked us to write only our names, and probably because of the language barrier it was easier not to fill in the rest. Then they gave us a translated explanation saying that the treatment is quite a strain on the body. They poured in water. Before the treatment, 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 match the real place. The bath has a strong smell of dried bread. Breathing is fine. There is 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 the body with their hands, but leave the toes a little exposed and do not cover the face. The enzymes are warm, but not very hot. After about 10 to 12 minutes, a woman came, gave us cold water to drink through a straw, and offered to continue for 5 or 10 minutes. We chose 5, but in fact, judging by the clock, it became 7. After the shower, there was cold tea. Overall, it was much easier to lie there than in Kaju, but the strain on the body is still noticeable. I would rate the difficulty at around 65 to 70 percent of Kaju. It is hard to judge the effect on the skin, since I went straight to the onsen, and I had the same treatment yesterday in terms of purpose. This is easier than Kaju, but still harder than the sand bath in Takegawara. If you are looking at an enzyme onsen, then of course it makes sense to go to Kaju, where the water is onsen water. But if you are not sure about your stamina and still want to try it, this place is an option. 02.05.2024
