Kitahama Onsen rises in the Kitahama district of Beppu as a chloride spring led in near-equal measure by sodium, calcium and magnesium, with a bicarbonate sub-type layering in a rounder, softer finish. It is weakly alkaline and easy on the skin, and the certificate records a faintly salty taste at the wellhead. Moderately mineralized at 3,137 mg/kg of dissolved solids, it has real body without feeling heavy. The standout figure is metasilicic acid at 193.8 mg/kg — enough silica to leave the thin moisturizing film that puts this water in Japan's beauty-water family.
