A journey for skin and soul, healed by milky white waters


This hot spring is a gift nurtured by nature over countless years. Rich minerals—including sulfur, iron, and calcium—dissolve into the water, gently enveloping your skin while soothingly unwinding even a weary heart.
Its hues—white, brown, pale blue-green—reflect nature's beautiful palette, transforming each moment into a special time of healing.
Simply immersing yourself in the water allows you to experience a sense of becoming one with nature. Feel the warmth of the earth's bounty and the soothing waters, and experience deep healing for both mind and body.
