A sodium-calcium chloride spring drawn from the Jigokudani valley in Yamanouchi, with sulfate running almost as strong and lending the water a quiet mineral body. The pH is neutral and the mineralization moderate at roughly 1,170 mg/kg of dissolved solids — enough substance to feel in the water, with none of the sting a sharper spring would carry. What stands out is the silica: a generous 151.9 mg/kg of metasilicic acid puts this squarely in Japan's beauty-water family, leaving the thin film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother after a soak.

817. Amagawaso, Shibu Onsen, Nagano I went for a day-use visit for ¥500. Day-use is listed from 12:00 to 17:00. The photos show a rotenburo, but I was only allowed into the indoor bath, possibly because of a translation issue. A very old-school, retro place. At the reception, there are various keys to the public onsen in Shibu Onsen. The indoor bath has clear water. The temperature was 44. It was tolerable to breathe inside. 16.01.2026
