It was introduced as a single house on October 27th.However, what I was curious about was that it was introduced on TV as an alkaline simple spring that heats the cold spring to 15℃.However, a simple spring is one whose temperature at the time of gushing is 25℃ or higher, and whose content of components (the amount of dissolved substances excluding gas components) does not reach a certain amount. The temperature of this Tanigawa hot spring is said to be 15℃, so it does not meet the 25℃ or higher requirement for a simple spring, so it is not a simple spring.By the way, all springs that gush out from underground are mineral springs, and those with a temperature below 25 degrees Celsius are called cold mineral springs, and those above 25 degrees Celsius are called hot springs. Simple springs must be at least 25 degrees Celsius when gushing out.The fact that it is introduced as a simple spring means that the ingredients have not been cleared, so it is impossible to think of other spring qualities.If the hot spring conditions of temperature and ingredient content are not met, it means that it is not a hot spring.However, since it is alkaline, it has a pH of 8.5 to 9.5. If the introduction of alkaline on TV means alkaline (moderate) among weak alkaline, alkaline (medium), and strong alkaline.My personal opinion is that this is not a hot spring as defined by the Hot Spring Law, but rather alkaline underground water containing minerals.It is said that it is effective for hemorrhoids, but if it really is effective for hemorrhoids, I would be interested to know which ingredients are effective against hemorrhoids.It's probably alkaline (medium alkaline) with a pH of 8.5 to 9.5, so maybe it's due to its strong skin beautifying effect, or maybe it's due to its thermal effect? I think so.Hot spring facilities are obligated to post a hot spring analysis report, but if what was introduced on TV is true, this would mean that this is not a hot spring as defined by the Hot Spring Law, so it probably will not be posted here. I don't think so.But I think it's good to skip those formalities and just relax and enjoy a relaxing soak in the hot water at this facility, eating delicious dishes made from wild vegetables and home-grown vegetables.It's far away, but I'd like to visit once (^-^)P.S.There were typos, typos, and missing parts, so I corrected them on December 22, 2023.It was posted in 2021.The reason I gave it a 3 is because I haven't used this facility yet. There is no deep meaning.

Accommodation for bike touring.He guided the bike under the eaves of the front door and seemed to know exactly how the rider was feeling.However, the limit is about 3 units.I visited this place because it was a solitary inn with a hot spring (mineral spring).This is a small family-run inn.The food is served on single-serve plates, reminiscent of the good old days of Japanese inns.On the way home, I received rice balls of sekihan and mixed rice for my lunch.The spirit and hospitality of travelers.It was completely cold when I ate it, but it was a heart-warming lunch.There is almost no information on the internet in this day and age, but enthusiasts should visit once.By the way, it was 7,000 yen for one night and two meals.Please bring your own drinks such as alcohol. (We have bottled beer)It seems to be read as "Yakawa no Yu".
