Gokuraku Sengen, rising in Arima-cho in Kobe's Kita ward, is a sodium chloride spring (hypertonic, neutral, high-temperature class) that flows up under its own pressure at just over 98 °C — among Japan's hottest natural sources. The certificate records water that is colorless and clear at the wellhead with a strongly salty taste, developing a brown sediment within hours of sampling. Richly mineralized and hypertonic, it is a classic heat-retaining chloride bath, and with nearly 100 mg/kg of metasilicic acid it edges into the beauty-water family, leaving skin feeling smooth and moisturized. The indications sheet documents it for cuts, peripheral circulation disorders, cold sensitivity, and dry skin.
