かぶと湯温泉とは
Miraculous onsen that a major earthquake produced
Our hot spring has begun to spring out from the bottom of the Kabuto shaped rock at the time of Kanto major earthquake in 1923. (Kabuto is a samurai helmet in Japanese)
The rock about the size of two tatami mats was in the middle of rice field. Therefore, this area was called “the rice field of Kabuto rock”
This is a story of our name.
This hot spring is a very superior quality and we has been using only the hot spring which gushed out naturally in term of keep the nature in a good condition since founded.
We are not doing bowling at all, not using any machine to pump it at all and not using circulator organs also. You can enjoy onsen water directly in both bathtub and shower. It is only seldom places left doing such a supply form in the present day.
The water which is either more than 25 degrees or having constant ingredient are defined onsen in the concept of Hot Spring Low in Japan. Our water contain Meta Silicic acid and Meta Boric acid a lot. Therefor it is defined “onsen” according to Hot Soring Low.
We assure that ingredient is more important than temperature. Our onsen is not only smooth but also creamy texture like moisturizer. Also it has various effects to your skin and health. I hope you will like it.
※Kabuto-yu has our own source of hot spring. It is different from other onsen ryokan nearby. For more information, please check our analysis book at Kabuto-yu. You will see the differences when you take a bath.
