A sodium-led chloride spring with the gentle, mineral softness of a bicarbonate sub-type layered in. Neutral in pH and moderately mineralized at 1,279 mg/kg, the water at the source carries a faint rotten-egg note of hydrogen sulfide and a slightly bitter edge if tasted. With 69.5 mg/kg of metasilicic acid it has just enough silica to feel a touch smoother on the skin.

373. Taki no Yu (温泉), Aira, Kagoshima ★★ A 24-hour onsen in the middle of nowhere. There is no staff, payment is ¥200 into a box. They have a stamp for the 88 Kyushu onsen stamp rally. The stamp had swollen a lot from the humidity, but it was still possible to stamp it, and it is there. At first the taxi driver at the station did not want to take me, then he started suggesting other onsen, but I insisted. While we were driving and passing the others, he kept telling me, with faint hope, that there is a good onsen here and a lot of people go there, but I kept repeating the name of this onsen and we drove on. The onsen is next to some sealed-off building, apparently some former motel. There are signs saying the owner monitors the grounds by camera, but given the overall condition of the place, it is hard to believe any cameras are actually working here. Breathing inside feels great. The water is cloudy, whitish-green, and the temperature is 35. A distinctive place with atmosphere, definitely worth a visit. 09.01.2025
