Takao Hot Tab is a tablet-form bicarbonate bath additive that lets you enjoy the soothing effects of a hot spring at home. The bicarbonate ions (*¹) deeply warm the body, providing long-lasting warmth even after bathing. Its therapeutic effects help promote circulation, relieve fatigue, cold sensitivity, stiff shoulders, and lower back pain.
This bath additive is colorant-free and fragrance-free, making it safe for babies and those with sensitive skin. The bicarbonate ions also gently remove dirt and old keratin from the skin’s surface (*²), leaving you feeling refreshed.

The eye-catching packaging features an illustration of Mt. Takao, a UNESCO-designated Japanese Heritage Site and a symbol of Hachioji City. The logo incorporates the kanji for "Takao," handwritten by monks at Takao-san Yakuo-in Temple. Each package is blessed through a goma fire ritual, with prayers for the health and wishes of its users.

For the best results, soak in water below 41°C in winter or at body temperature (around 36°C) in summer. Ideal for recovering from hiking fatigue or as a thoughtful souvenir from the Kanto region.

(*¹) Bicarbonate ions refer to the active ingredients sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate.
(*²) The removal of dirt and old keratin occurs through rinsing.
