漢方特有の香りがありますが、それ以上に薄荷の清涼感ある香りが印象的な入浴剤です。
The Chinese herbs in SUZAKUYU include 川芎 当帰 薄荷 よもぎ 高麗人参

These luxurious bath salts are made only with herbal medicines to prepare the body for the harsh environment of Kyoto, Japan's ancient capital.

Four animal spirits, Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise govern the four directions of the sky, east, west, south, and north, and are collectively called the Four Divine Beasts.

The Vermilion Bird, or Suzaku in Japanese, is a phoenix with five-colored feathers and a mastery of fire that protects the southern direction. Landing on a large pond that pools in the southern lowlands, its large wings drive away any misfortune or evil spirits that may befall it, bringing happiness and family prosperity. It is also associated with popularity and is said to bring love fulfillment.

This product combines the antipyretic, antiperspirant, and coolative properties of hakka, as well as the blood-circulating properties of tōki and kawakyu. It also provides the blood-regulating properties of Ginseng and Chinese mugwort, also known as the "Queen of Herbs" due to its effectiveness and high nutritional value. In summer, when people tend to take only showers, please soak yourself in a bathtub with Suzakuyu. Oriental spa herbs are also recommended for a refreshing morning bath.


Enjoy the natural power of a Chinese medicinal bath at home, worthy of the name Suzaku.

Herbal medicine was introduced to Japan from China along with Buddhism and is still loved by many here for preventing and remedying illness. This medicinal bath is made by Kameda Risaburo Yakuho, which has been selling Chinese medicines in Kyoto for more than a century. It was created so that anyone can enjoy herbal medicine anywhere and anytime.
