Ikime Onsen

A gentle simple thermal spring, given on its efficacy panel as simple thermal water and nothing more — mild and low in stimulus. The documented bathing indications run wide: neuralgia, muscle and joint pain, joint stiffness, frozen shoulder, motor paralysis, bruises and sprains, chronic digestive complaints, hemorrhoids and cold sensitivity, fatigue recovery, and a skin-beautifying effect. Drinking is not permitted — the panel states the water has had no drinking analysis and holds no drinking permit — and the same notice advises easing in with soaks of three to ten minutes, once a day for the first few days.
