伊香保温泉(西沢の湯1号2号3号の混合)
Ikaho Onsen (Nishizawa-no-Yu wells No.1, No.2 and No.3, blended)Mixed source
- Smooth skindry, rough skin
- Recoveryfatigue, stress
A blend of the Nishizawa-no-Yu wells No. 1, 2 and 3 at Ikaho. It is lightly mineralized — about 292 mg/kg of dissolved solids — and neutral in pH, so the water feels gentle rather than assertive, but it carries 74.8 mg/kg of metasilicic acid, the silica that leaves a thin film on the skin and puts this source in Japan's beauty-water family. At 10.7 °C it is a cold-mineral source: it qualifies as an onsen through its metasilicic acid content rather than through heat. The posted notice lists it for convalescence, fatigue recovery and general health improvement.
