A self-flowing source in Beppu's Myoban district, classified as a strongly acidic simple sulfur spring (hydrogen-sulfide type) at pH 2.7. At the wellhead the water is colorless and clear yet carries a sharp metallic edge and a strong rotten-egg note of H₂S. It is also rich in metasilicic acid (145 mg/kg), the kind of silica that leaves a thin film for noticeably smoother skin.

150. Midorisou, Beppu ★ For 500 yen, you can rent one of the private baths for a single person. As I understood, there are 4 of them in the complex (3 indoor and 1 outdoor). They stamp your ticket. There was some confusion at the entrance because the man seemed hesitant when I asked to enter the onsen, but then an elderly man came, said "okay," and waved me to follow him. The bath was a typical rich Myoban style - milky water with white lime, with the water temperature between warm and hot. A nice small onsen with private baths, worth keeping in mind. 03.05.2024
