Why Japanese Look Younger, Live Longer | Onsen Story ★ ONLY in JAPAN

Every Centenarian I talk to, people who are over 100 years old. tell me one of the things to a long life is visiting a Japanese hot spring or onsen regularly. It's one of many things but I wanted to know why and how hot springs can not only make us look and feel younger but help us live longer. I traveled to Nakanosawa Onsen, Tsurunoyu Onsen and Tamagawa Onsen to look at how special the waters are, geothermal heated spring water full of natural chemical compounds and minerals.
