A sodium-led bicarbonate-chloride spring of the classic jūsō-sen style, softened by a salty edge from the chloride side. Neutral pH and moderate mineralization (1,913 mg/kg dissolved solids) give it a gentle feel with strong heat retention. Served as free-flow from a 48.5 °C source, with no dilution, reheating or disinfection.

380. Nakamura Hot Spring, Minamata, Kumamoto Payment of ¥500 at the shop (the pin on the map is in the screenshot), then she led us to a separate little house with an onsen. The stated hours are 10:00 to 22:00. They stamp the Kyushu 88 Onsen stamp rally (removed as of March 2025). As I understood it, the bath is private, since the lady told us to close the door. In the changing room there are items for visiting the onsen with a child, and some interesting artifacts. The bath has clear water, temperature 42. Breathing is easy. 10.01.2025
