Sasaguri Onsen

Sasaguri Onsen flows with siliceous and simple thermal waters in Japan, combining the silky, skin-polishing bathing experience associated with dissolved silica with the gentle accessibility of simple geothermal water, producing a dual mineral bathing experience appreciated equally for its cosmetic skin-smoothing properties and its universally welcoming thermal warmth. The name Sasaguri, suggesting an area associated with bamboo groves or the delicate leaves of dwarf bamboo, evokes the refined natural aesthetic that bamboo symbolizes in Japanese culture — a plant of elegant simplicity, resilience, and natural beauty — suggesting a spring whose setting embodies these same qualities of understated natural refinement. Sasaguri Onsen invites visitors to experience the silky pleasures of siliceous thermal bathing in a setting whose bamboo-grove name evokes the Japanese aesthetic tradition of finding profound natural beauty in the simplest and most familiar of plant companions, where the silica-smooth skin sensation after bathing mirrors the smooth, jointed elegance of the bamboo that names this spring's home landscape.
