Natural Onsen (hot spring) Bath Powder: Beppu Hattō

Onsen Salts from Beppu, Kyushu, Japan

Japan has an abundance of natural hot springs (onsen, 温泉 ). There’s said to be 2,500 onsens dotting the island nation. Most onsens are communal, you are not supposed to wear any clothing and in most cases, you are not allowed to bathe if you have any visible tattoos. For those of us who dream of visiting onsen and who aren’t physically able to get to one, this product lets you relive and experience the onsen at home.

Beppu is situated between the sea and the mountains on the island of Kyushu, southern Japan. The city is a famous holiday destination because of its onsen. It has eight major geothermal hot spots, sometimes referred to as the “eight hells of Beppu”. Beppu is also divided into eight major hot spring areas known as Beppu Hattō (別府八湯).

This Beppu bath powder has a pleasant scent of Japanese citrus and produces a light (nigori type) colour water.

Like all onsen, healing properties are attributed to the compounds found in the water, from relieving eczema to lowering your blood pressure and easing aching muscles.
