Izumi Onsen Kenko Center is located in Hokuto, Yamanashi prefecture. Bicarbonate water, pH 8, rises at 40°C and feeds an indoor bath, an open-air rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — The Izumi spring health centre in Hokuto draws on the crystal-clear aquifer beneath Kobuchizawa, a highland resort plateau where the Tokyo elite have maintained summer villas for over a century. The Yatsugatake mountains produce some of Japan purest groundwater, and the Suntory Hakushu whisky distillery nearby is a testament to its exceptional quality.
