A sodium-led bicarbonate-chloride spring — the soft 'jūsō-sen' style with a salty edge from a chloride sub-type. Neutral in pH and gentle on the skin, it sits within Japan's beauty-water family. The source emerges above 86 °C, placing it among Japan's hottest natural sources, and carries a faint hydrogen sulfide note with a slightly salty tang at the wellhead. A generous 107.7 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves a thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother.

677. Boukai, Shirahama, Wakayama Visited for higaeri for 660. Higaeri hours are 14:00-19:00. They sell the Wakayama 12 Onsen stamp book. Indoor bath with clear water, temperature around 47.8. There's cold water and tools to dilute it - brought it down to 43 quickly. A bit stuffy inside. 09.11.2025
