A ten-minute drive from Hiramatsu Hotel & Resrots Ginoza, awaits an expert in Thalasso theraphy. Here in Tapic Thalasso Center one can experience seawater thermotherapy, a method of therapy that has originated in Okinawa. Seawater has the ability to penetrate and purify the skin. When warmed and delivered to the body, the “heat” relaxes the whole body. The comfort and stimulation beyond your imagination will fundamentally raise your body’s “self-healing power”. The energy of mother ocean will help you to recover your body and mind.

Dip in and soak up!

Seawater thermotherapy is a full-body massage using steamed towels of Okinawan seawater to warm the body. Areas of the body that are cold will feel the painful heat, while areas that are not cold will feel just the right amount of pleasant warmth. The water used is seawater from Okinawa. The distribution of minerals is similar to that of body fluids and is just right for the body. Other seawater does not produce the same effect and causes skin pain.
