Abstract
In Japan, it is very popular to make use of mineral hot springs, and most Japanesepeople enjoy taking hot spring baths. Some people take hot spring baths for therapeutic
reasons. But even though hot springs are common and easily accessed, schools do not
generally promote knowledge about hot springs. However recently, hot spring facilities
have practiced re-circulation of bath water and sterilization with chlorine and the imageof natural hot springs is di#erent from the reality. Due to this situation some problems
have occurred, such as infections involving Legionella species.
Author writing about hot springs believe one of the reasons for this situation is due
to lack of knowledge and information available to the general public. This has prompted
writer to conduct a survey of .** people asking about whether people understand hotsprings they use. The results of the survey indicated that the respondents didn’t
understand the technical words used in describing mineral hot springs. In conclusion, itis clear we need to understand hot springs better and improve the school curriculum
concerning hot springs.
Key words : hot spring users, knowledge about mineral hot springs, questionary survey :    !"#$%&+ῌ ῏ ῍ ῐ ῎'()*+,-./0123456(78* 9:;<(/01=58>? @ABCD*5EFGH IJK+ L$MLNOJPQG;<ῌ5R45ESTUVWXY+4Z[G4\]1^._FH4\]( \`56XYa*b<_cdeSfgh5Ei? NOdeJ[*jk + lmJinG op [6+ op 4+ /0qr_Z*/0DJstE1uG;<1vwuGH­L66
