Radium 1:tamagawa onsen

Top 3 Radium Onsen in Japan 1:Tamagawa Onsen

Holy ground for bedrock bathing

In the early 1990s, many vans were parked along the way to the bedrock bathing area of Tamagawa Onsen, situated beside a snow wall 4 meters high.

At that time, Tamagawa Onsen closed its hotel due to the enormous amount of snow in winter. People in the van were staying for cure taking bedrock baths. Some vans came from faraway prefectures in Kyushu, such as Miyazaki or Kagoshima! Now, the hotel operates during the winter as well, and the New Tamagawa Onsen hotel was opened in 1998, so you won’t see lines of vans anymore. Tamagawa Onsen is famous for its cancer-curing properties.

Yu-pon visited Tamagawa Onsen twice. Yu-pon saw people searching for a spot with optimal radioactivity measuring devices. Some women had turbans wrapped around their heads, possibly due to cobalt treatments, and there was a man with a green tint on one side of his face. The onsen’s water is highly acidic, with a pH of 10.1.

There are two methods for curing, one is bedrock bathing (Hormesis Effect), and the other is bathing in the highly acidic spring. Bedrock bathing involves exposure to very low levels of radiation, which prompts the patient’s immune system to strengthen.

In case of bathing in highly acidic spring , eczema will appear on the patient’s body after 2-3 days after bathing. If you continue bathing enduring the smart from eczema for about 10 days, matters will be drained from your body and healed.

Doctor Noguchi, who was the chief doctor of the clinic affiliated with Tamagawa Onsen, said he could recognize a patient’s disease from the eczema spots on their body. According to his words about cancer: “This Radium Onsen’s treatment may lower cancer levels and it may not be perfect, but people get better afterwards. A perfect cure comes from drinking Onsen water.”
Hokutou stone emits low-level radiation and is found only at Tamagawa Onsen in Japan or Peitou Onsen in Taiwan. Yu-pon bought this Hokutou stone bracelet for health purposes in Taipei. Yu-pon knows there are some recent doubts about the Hormesis Effect, but who cares so seriously??
