A hot (81.7 °C) sodium chloride spring from the Kannawa district of Beppu — weakly acidic, moderately mineralized, with the salty, heat-retaining character that defines chloride waters. It sits among Japan's hottest natural sources. An exceptionally generous 685 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves a thin silica film that makes skin noticeably smoother afterwards.

476. Netsunoyu, Beppu Old-school free municipal onsen, no staff, no body wash, no shower. Operating hours listed as 06:30 to 21:00. They stamp the Beppu Onsen-do book, but the stamp itself is at the neighboring onsen Irifuneso. Bath photo from the internet, accurate. Clear water, temperature 45. Air inside is good. 03.04.2025
