A sodium- and calcium-led chloride spring with bicarbonate softness and a quiet sulfate body layered in — a true compound water rather than a single-axis source. Neutral pH keeps the touch gentle, while 1,728 mg/kg of dissolved solids gives enough mineral body to be noticeable on the skin. A generous 241 mg/kg of metasilicic acid puts it squarely in the Japanese 'beauty-water' family — the silica leaves a thin film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother afterwards. The water carries a faint yellow tint with slight turbidity at the source, with no perceptible taste or smell.

About

Marukoma sits alone on the far shore of Lake Shikotsu, reached by a single road along the water. Its signature bath, the tennen yato (天然野湯, natural wild bath), is separated from the lake by nothing but a rock ledge, one of a small number of ashimoto yushutsu (足元湧出, foot-fed) springs left in Japan, where the water rises and falls with the lake's own level. There's also a view rotenburo looking straight out over Shikotsu and the surrounding peaks, separate indoor baths for men and women, each with a sauna where you pour the water yourself, plus a cold plunge filled with lake water and loungers outside for cooling down. Two private baths can be booked as well, one with its own barrel sauna. The water is clear and faintly salty, and it's known locally for keeping you warm long after you've dried off. The inn was founded in 1915 by Sasaki Hatsutaro and is a member of Nihon Hito o Mamoru Kai (日本秘湯を守る会), the association of Japan's secluded hot-spring inns. No public electricity or water lines reach the building: it generates its own power and draws its water from the lake, running on a spring that rises naturally right at its own caldera shore.
