The hot spring water at Sasebo Onsen is a simple alkaline mineral spring, known for its clarity and gentle pH balance. Rich in calcium carbonate and trace minerals, it naturally soothes dry skin and supports joint comfort. Unlike sulfurous springs, it has no strong odor, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Many guests report visibly smoother skin after three days of regular soaks. The hotel enhances the experience with natural rice bran exfoliation treatments and herbal mud masks, available post-onset. For best results, limit each soak to 15–20 minutes to avoid overexposure.
