[Ponpira Onsen in Nakagawa] Day Trip Bath Can Be Enjoyed at Ponpira Aqua Rizink

Ponpira Aqua Rizink

Ponpira Aqua Rizink is a small-sized onsen hotel next to Naport Park, and has opened a business since 1973. A cylindrical building catches people's eyes. It is probably related with a ammonite. An entrance fee to the bath facility is JPY 400. A shop and a restraunt are at the building, too, and visitors for day trip bath can use the restraunt. A staying is possible, too. In addition, they have ammonite shaped Aqua Pool. A swimsuit is rented.

There are 2 indoor baths, 1 medicated bath, 1 cold bath and 1 sauna at a large public bathhouse. The tiled bathhouse with a low ceiling may make bathers feel tightness, but the sunny bathhouse with large windows is feeling good. The baths are placed along the windows, and a large indoor bath is the size that about 15 people can take a bath, and uses heated water. A small inroo bath is the size that about 4 people can take a bath, and uses heated cold hot springs with adding water. The medicated bath at most depth is the size that about 4 people can take a bath.

The hot springs are strong sodium and calcium chloride cold spring, and are clear and colorless and have a little salty taste and no smell. Unfortunately, the hot springs are not drinkable because of circulation type baths. The sum total of the hot spring ingredients are 26.60 g/kg. The metaboric acid content is 636.0 mg/kg, and it is said that the metaboric acid is effective for sterilization and treatment of skin. But the hot springs is indeed added water, so the sum total of the hot spring ingredients become diluted.

Shampoos and body soaps are provided at the bathhouse. A restroom and a free hair dryer are installed at a dressing room. 2 resting rooms are provided for free, and a free cold water dispenser is provided at a small resting room. 7 bathers took a bath although I visited here in the daytime on weekdays. Ponpira Aqua Rizink is popular with local people.
