An alkaline simple thermal spring blended from the two Yunoyama Omoteyu wells in a 5-to-1 ratio (low-tonicity, alkaline, low-temperature class). At pH 9.1 at the wellhead it sits in Japan's beauty-water family, giving the characteristic slippery feel on the skin. Lightly mineralized at 0.19 g/kg of dissolved solids and emerging at just 26.6 degrees Celsius, it is a gentle, low-temperature source that is reheated for bathing.
