A simple sulfur spring rising in Nozawa Onsen village, Nagano. It surfaces at 71.9 °C — among Japan's hotter natural sources — colorless and clear at the spout, but carrying a strong hydrogen sulfide note and a sulfurous taste. Dissolved solids are light at 945 mg/kg, yet metasilicic acid runs to 110 mg/kg; paired with a mildly alkaline pH, that silica leaves the soft, smoothing finish that places the water in Japan's beauty-water family.

821. Jyuodo-no-yu, Nozawa Onsen, Nagano ★★ An old-school onsen. Free of charge. Hours are listed as 06:00 to 22:00. They stamp the Nozawa Onsen Shuin Meguri stamp. No staff, no showers. The bath photo from the internet matches. The indoor bath has cloudy blue water, with some rare fine black mineral deposits. The temperature is 43.5-44. It is easy to breathe inside. A good old-school onsen with cool water, recommended for a visit. 17.01.2026
