Classification

Sodium-Magnesium-Calcium Bicarbonate-Sulfate spring

A hot (48.8 °C) bicarbonate-sulfate spring led by sodium, magnesium and calcium. The wellhead water is colorless and clear with a faintly metallic taste, but on standing it develops a strong yellow turbidity — a glimpse of the iron it carries. Metasilicic acid at a generous 211 mg/kg leaves the kind of thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother afterwards.

About

A ryokan at Ukenokuchi Onsen in the hills of Kokonoe, Oita, with a large mixed outdoor bath called Kobushi no Yu fed by a roaring waterfall of bicarbonate spring water. The water turns a deep golden yellow as it hits the air, a striking color that's uncommon even among natural onsen. There's also a women-only outdoor bath for those who prefer it.
