日本の温泉・入浴
日本には世界最大規模の温泉資源があり、歴史的にも長い温泉文化があります。また、日常的に湯につかるという世界的にみて特徴的な生活習慣があります。われわれは、日本の温泉・入浴文化が、日本人の健康に寄与し、長寿に貢献しているとの仮説にたっています。
Japan is home to world-class hot spring resources, and its hot spring culture has a long history. Moreover, the lifestyle custom of soaking daily in hot water is a characteristic one of Japan. We are acting on the hypothesis that Japan's hot spring and bathing culture contributes to the health and longevity of the Japanese.
