A hot (43.9 °C) sodium bicarbonate-chloride spring — the soft, skin-smoothing 'jūsō-sen' style with a salty chloride finish layered in. Neutral pH and a moderate 2,356 mg/kg of dissolved solids give it body without heaviness, and 65 mg/kg of metasilicic acid sits firmly in beauty-water territory, leaving skin noticeably smoother after a soak.

386. Tatsugashira Onsen, Kikuchi, Kumamoto An old-school onsen for ¥350. Opening hours are listed as 06:00 to 22:00. They stamp the Kyushu 88 Onsen stamp rally. You need to bring your own body wash/shampoo, or buy it there. The bath photos online match what is there. Inside there are two baths. The water is clear and carbonated, as I understand it, naturally. In terms of temperature, one bath is 42, the other is 40. Breathing is fine. Outside there is a stone bath with clear water, temperature 40. There is also a separate stone bath with cold water. 11.01.2025
