An acidic iron-bearing sulfate spring rising at Unzen's Hachiman Jigoku. At pH 3.4 the water is faintly sour and milky-white with a pale yellow cast, carrying the characteristic rotten-egg note of H₂S. Sulfate dominates the dissolved load, and a generous 184 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves a thin silica film that makes skin feel smoother afterwards.

About

Two bathhouses, Kinugasa no Yu (絹笠の湯) and Hakuun no Yu (白雲の湯), each with indoor and garden open-air sections. The sulfurous water is piped directly from Unzen Jigoku (雲仙地獄), the fumarole field just nearby, and flows continuously without recycling (kakenagashi, 源泉かけ流し). Gender assignments swap morning and evening, so overnight guests can use both sets. A private booking of the garden rotenburo plus main bath is available in a late-night slot.

6. Unzen Sky Hotel, Unzen Onsen, Nagasaki ★★ A very old ryokan in the best sense. I stayed here for one night. As I understood it, they also seem to have higaeri. There are two baths, one large indoor bath and, through it, access to a smaller outdoor bath. There was supposed to be a rotation of baths between men and women, but in practice there was none. The water is brown, with no smell, and the temperature is standard. The design is more old-school, but it was comfortable to be there, it was already my sixth onsen of the day, and I did not want to leave. 25.12.2023 26.12.2023
