- Hakusan City and the operator confirm natural spring water and describe it as 100% natural-spring water. The current pages do not publish full, bath-by-bath conditions for water addition, heating, circulation, filtration or disinfection; the 100% description is not extended into a claim that every bath is entirely source-flowing.
Bathing indications
The operator lists general bathing indications including nerve, muscle and joint pain, frozen shoulder, sensitivity to cold, fatigue, cuts and dry skin. These are not treatment guarantees.
The current official pages do not give full, bath-by-bath water-treatment details.
Hakusan City says Ichirino and Iwama Onsen are currently without spring water after their supply pipes collapsed. They should not be treated as operating alternatives.
How to read a bath profile
