Under the theme of “thinking about hot springs from the quality of the spring,” the “source” and “quality of the spring” are based on the information, ingredients, and amount of ingredients in the hot spring analysis report, targeting genuine bathing facilities that have a nationwide healing effect. The “Hot Spring Quality Ranking Guide”, which evaluates and ranks “Hot Spring Quality” as a feeling of hot water, was opened on August 15, 2019, and registered in the “Source Spring Quality Survey Table” as of November 19, 2020. The number of houses has exceeded 1,000.
There are convenient sites such as tabelog when selecting restaurants, but there are no sites that select only the source of hot springs or sites that evaluate or rank the source and quality of the hot springs, only sites that individuals evaluate hot springs. was.
Therefore, it may be convenient to have such a site when traveling, and if you can choose an inn or bathing facility according to the purpose of the trip and the quality of the spring that each person wants, you will not have to search for it yourself. From the thought of wondering, we have set up a site specializing in the source and quality of springs by collecting only genuine hot springs.
The number of bathing facilities in the ranking varies depending on the level of each prefecture, but it is about 1 in 15 bathing facilities. There are about 27,000 hot springs all over Japan, and about 12,000 hot springs with a temperature of 42 degrees or higher. In some cases, the hot springs are drawn to multiple facilities, and about 1,300 to 1,500 bathing facilities are expected to be registered.
Therefore, the bathing facilities in the ranking of this site are genuine hot springs with a healing effect.
1. What is "Hot Spring Quality Ranking Guide"?
In the “Hot Spring Quality Ranking Guide”, a “Source Spring Quality Survey Table” is posted for each hot spring that flows directly from the source. The “source spring quality survey table” is a table that analyzes and evaluates the components of hot springs posted in hot spring baths, etc. for each category of “source”, “warmth”, and “beautiful skin”. It can be said that it is a medical record of.
Areas nationwide, by region, and by prefecture are ranked according to the categories of “source”, “warmth”, and “beautiful skin”, so the travel period, travel route, travel purpose, and the quality of the spring you seek, etc. You can use it to find accommodations and bathing facilities according to your needs.
2. About the basis of evaluation criteria and data creation
Regarding the component evaluation, refer to many materials other than the materials such as “Encyclopedia of hot springs” (Maruzen Publishing), “Gensen Yujuku” (written by Tomio Hirano), and “Knowing hot springs” (written by Koichi Shinano). We have decided the evaluation criteria for the quality of the spring.
As the standard value, it is not the standard to drop, but the standard to find and pick up good points. Furthermore, in addition to referring to the old spring quality name, we have set standards for ingredients and amount of ingredients based on my experience.
In addition, the distinction between circulating and chlorine-filled baths is judged from the information of multiple people, and the data is confirmed by directly contacting the bathing facility regarding the availability of drinking hot springs and the depth of the bathtub.
