Iyo no Toji-ba Kisuke no Yu and Shimanami Onsen Kisuke no Yu, operated by Kisuke Co., Ltd., have obtained "Beautiful Skin Hot Spring Certification" issued by POLA (Pola Inc.).

This time, Iyo no Toji-ba Kisuke no Yu was certified as "Yu-maki Peeling Hot Spring" and Shimanami Onsen Kisuke no Yu as "Melting Purification Hot Spring."

* After bathing, your skin feels smooth. * Your skin feels refreshed after bathing. * You feel as if your mind has become lighter after getting out of the bath.

These sensations are familiar and gentle experiences that many people who enjoy hot springs have felt at least once.

Until now, their appeal has often been described in sensory terms such as "feels good" and "skin feels smooth."

This Beautiful Skin Hot Spring Certification is a major step forward in communicating the "comfort of hot springs felt on the skin" to customers in an easy-to-understand way from the perspective of skin science.

Kisuke no Yu is re-examining the inherent appeal of hot springs and will evolve daily bathing time from "time to warm the body" to "time to condition the skin and mind."

Visualizing the Appeal of Hot Springs with "Hot Springs x Skin Science"

The "Beautiful Skin Hot Spring Certification" is a certification system issued by POLA based on research and analysis by the Pola Orbis Group.

Hot springs collected from the bathtubs of hot spring facilities nationwide are analyzed using POLA's skin science knowledge, and their beautiful skin effects are classified into seven categories.

Each hot spring facility has its own unique characteristics.

The feel of the water on the skin. The refreshing feeling after bathing. The smoothness when the skin is touched. The pleasant lingering feeling after bathing.

By obtaining different Beautiful Skin Hot Spring Certifications for the two Kisuke no Yu facilities in Ehime Prefecture, the unique characteristics of the hot springs at both facilities can now be delivered to customers in a more understandable way.
