A sodium chloride spring with bicarbonate softness layered in — the salty, heat-retaining type that keeps you warm long after you leave the bath. The water is weakly alkaline and gentle on the skin, emerging pale yellow and clear with a faint salty tang on the lips. Moderately mineralized, it has noticeable body without being harsh, and the bicarbonate side lends a smooth, skin-friendly finish.

585. むかわの湯, Hokuto, Yamanashi ★ Onsen for 830 yen (410 for locals). Operating hours from 10:00 to 21:00 (closed Tue). They stamp the Yamanashi 100 Onsen book. Bath photos from the internet partially match — the indoor area looks quite worn down in person. 1. Outdoor bath in stone. No view, but cozy. Slightly cloudy clear water, temperature around 39°C. 2. Indoor area. Breathing inside is fine. 2.1. Large bath with clear water, temperature around 42°C. 2.2. Bath with bubbles and a reclining zone. Clear water, temperature around 39°C. Water has a distinctive smell. 2.3. Wooden bath. Clear water, temperature around 39°C. 2.4. Row of utaseyu stations. Clear water, temperature around 40°C. Distinctive smell from the water. Condition is worn. 2.5. Sauna. 2.6. Steam bath (not working). 2.7. Cold bath. First impression looks rough, but once you settle in it actually becomes quite comfortable and pleasant. 15.05.2025
