A municipal Beppu blend (Unsenji source plus others, sampled at a covered mixing-tank outlet) emerges hot at 64.1 °C as a simple thermal water, neutral and hypotonic. Total dissolved solids sit modestly at 0.764 g/kg with a faint sodium-chloride lean, so the water reads gentle rather than briny. The headline is silica — metasilicic acid at 159 mg/kg leaves the kind of fine film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother on the way out.

127. Cafe Takasaki & onsen, Beppu ★★ A cafe with a private onsen. The owner is clearly a fan of onsen culture, there are various onsen-themed artifacts laid out in the house. The most interesting ones, of course, are the old spa passports, a blue one, a foil one, and a tiny ancient one. The owner reacted with great interest, we communicated through a translator. As I understood it, the onsen itself is included in the cafe meal, since there was no extra charge for it. They stamp the Beppu onsen passport and the booklet for the 88 onsen of Kyushu. The bath is in a separate room. Cozy, easy to breathe. The water in the bath is clear, and the temperature is hot plus. Highly recommended for onsen fans to visit. The place is unique in its own way. 02.05.2024
