Oku-no-yu is an acidic sulfur-bearing sodium/calcium chloride spring (H₂S type). At pH 3.8 the water clouds milky white, with a tart edge and the unmistakable rotten-egg note of hydrogen sulfide. Generous metasilicic acid (94 mg/kg) layers in a faint silica softness behind the sharp, sulfurous bite.

About

Takinoya draws from four distinct springs at once: sulfur, salt, iron, and radium waters all flow fresh (kakenagashi, 源泉掛け流し) into the baths. The two large communal bath areas, Chien-no-yu (地縁の湯) in the basement and Kumoi-no-yu (雲井の湯) on the top floor, swap between men and women morning and evening, so guests get a different view each time. The outdoor baths look out over Noboribetsu's forest, and the water runs opaque and faintly sulfurous. Some rooms have their own private outdoor bath. Day use is not available; this is a ryokan stay.

Noboribetsu Kyo Takinoya Four different sources, all kakenagashi. Two on the upper floor, two on the lower floor. They are switched according to the photo below. On the upper floor, there is only a rotenburo with an endless pool and a view of the top of the hill and its forest with cherry blossoms: 1) Calcium-rich salt water 2) Sulfur water with potassium And on the lower floor there is a sauna, a mizuburo with a view of the garden behind the ryokan. Indoor baths and a rotenburo: 3) Very sulfurous water (maybe with copper? Is that why it has such a blue color?) 4) Sulfur water with iron I am a fan of "egg" baths, so this place is now at the top of my list 😄 The staff are also all warm-hearted and very helpful! Half of the rooms have their own private onsen with "egg" water. They also adapted the kaiseki really well to our vegetarian needs! We have eaten many kinds of tofu in many places, but here it was the tastiest of all!!! We would have kept eating it and eating it)))) In general, the European dishes were very tasty too: chocolate cake, panna cotta, salad dressing. We have never even encountered such delicious food in Europe)))
