A gentle simple thermal spring rising in Ebino, neutral and hypotonic, with only about 376 mg/kg of dissolved solids — lightly mineralized and easy on the body. What lifts it above ordinary simple water is a generous 124 mg/kg of metasilicic acid, which leaves the kind of thin silica film that puts it in Japan's beauty-water family.
