湯Simple
Classified as a simple thermal spring, this is gentle water with little chemical bite; the posted spring quality matches the analysed one, with no compound sub-type layered on top. The source name itself marks it as a municipally owned wellhead of the City of Beppu. Its certificate documents the spring-type-specific indications for autonomic nervous system instability, insomnia and depressed mood, and records no spring-type-specific contraindications at all. This is water chosen for how mildly it sits on the skin rather than for mineral punch.
