A hot 64.1 °C simple thermal spring (hypotonic, weakly alkaline) drawn as a blend led by the Unsenji wellhead. Total dissolved solids are light at 764 mg/kg, but metasilicic acid is generous at 159 mg/kg — enough to leave the thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother. Weakly alkaline at pH 7.5, the water reads as soft on the skin and is colorless, tasteless, and odorless at the source. Among Japan's hotter natural sources, so cooled before entering the bath.

124. Yamada Onsen, Beppu An old-school onsen for ¥100. The posted hours are 06:00 to 09:00 and 11:00 to 23:00. They stamp the Beppu Onsen-do stamp rally. No staff, no shower. The water is clear, and the temperature is 46. There is a drawing on the wall of Beppu, the bay, and the mountains. The air inside is easy to breathe. 02.05.2024 28.12.2025 02.04.2026
