A sodium-calcium chloride spring — salty and heat-retaining, the kind of water that holds warmth well after the bath. Weakly alkaline and soft on the skin, it carries a fair amount of metasilicic acid (62 mg/kg) that lends a smoother feel. At the source the water shows a faint yellow tint and is slightly turbid.

Yukai-no-yu Neyagawa is a big day-use bathing complex in Osaka's Neyagawa with real hot-spring water outdoors: a three-tier rotenburo (露天風呂) where clear, faintly salty water spills from the top tub through the middle and lower ones. Indoors there's a hot bath, a milder one, and a carbonated bath, plus a stone-lined cold plunge and a jet bath with a notably strong current. Two different saunas sit side by side, a bright infrared dry sauna overlooking the baths and an herbal steam sauna built like a kiln. Beyond the baths it runs more like a day out than a quick soak: a free manga library, a bouldering wall, a fitness room, and a five-room rock-bed sauna, the ganbanyoku (岩盤浴), themed around salt, herbs, lava and loess, plus a lounge looking onto a garden to cool down in. A restaurant is open to non-bathers too. It's a casual neighborhood spot mostly used by local families for a whole afternoon.
Yukai-no Yu, Neyagawa, Osaka
A slightly tired but good-quality super-sento in the suburbs of Osaka
In the indoor area there are three baths with different temperatures:
1. Warm carbonated bath, 39.5°
2. Hot bath, 41.5°, with an electric corner where it really massages your sides instead of bending you into an arch.
3. Hot bath, fairly deep, listed as 44-45°, but in fact it was 43.5°
There is a dry sauna, large and with plenty of steps, so you can choose your own level of roasting. The thermometer at chest height showed 82°, and under the ceiling, 88°. The sauna comes with a large cool plunge pool, 17.5°
In the washing area there is the standard soap-shampoo-conditioner set, but it seems that for summer they filled the bottles with menthol soap, because after washing there was an unexpected feeling of freshness.
In the outdoor area there is a three-level outdoor bath in stone, 41.5°, a reclining bath, 39.5°, three barrels, a standing bath 90 cm, loungers, and chairs. There is also a herbal steam sauna, but it was not working today, it said it was under maintenance.
In the relaxation area there is a restaurant, a kids' area with a small climbing wall, outdoors in the inner courtyard, fitness, and a computer corner. There is also ganbanyoku and massage.
Pros:
- large baths, varied by temperature
- inside and outside it looks fairly authentic
- 5 hours of parking when visiting the onsen
Cons:
- impossible to get there without a car, the shuttle from the station was canceled in June
- broken lockers in the changing room
- overall everything is old and tired, and the air conditioners, with it being +37° outside, can no longer keep up with cooling the relaxation area, so it feels hot.
