A gentle simple thermal water, mildly alkaline and soft on the skin — squarely in the Japanese beauty-water family. It is colorless and clear with a faint hydrogen sulfide note and almost no taste. A generous 138 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves the kind of thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother. The source is exceptionally hot at 67.8 °C and is sampled from the storage tank inlet before reaching the bath.

About

Seoto Yuoto no Yado Ukiha is a ryokan in Amagase Onsen, an old hot spring town in Hita, Oita. Three baths here run at three different temperatures: the indoor bath under a hinoki ceiling is properly hot, the outdoor rotenburo, nicknamed teien-buro (庭園風呂, 'garden bath'), sits at a milder temperature with cedar covered hills all around, and a firewood heated goemonburo (五右衛門風呂), an iron cauldron bath, stays gently warm instead of scalding. The water is clear with just a faint whiff of sulfur, and it's mild enough to drink. A private hinoki family bath, with handrails for kids or older guests, can be booked from two people.

398. Seon Yuon-no-Yado Ukiha, Hita, Oita Visited for higaeri for 800. Higaeri hours stated as 11:30 to 16:00. They stamp the 88 Onsen of Kyushu book. They issue Toreco cards for the onsen. Bath photos from the internet match reality. Inside there's a round bath with clear water, temperature 40. Breathing inside is fine. To reach the outdoor bath zone, you need to walk a bit from the indoor area. The outdoor stone bath has clear water with fine brown mineral deposits, and a pleasant view of trees and bamboo. Water temperature is 38. There are two small tubs — one cold and one cool. A place with a pleasant rotenburo. The location isn't very convenient, and it's definitely not worth a special trip, but if you're in the area or going for the achievement — it's a good option.
