Water profile

AMANEK BEPPU YULA-RE

Spring chemistry and what it does, with the research behind it.

湯Simple

Amanek Onsen II is classified as a simple thermal spring (simple thermal spring) — gentle, low-stimulus water with no single dominant ion strong enough to give it a compound name. The supporting indications panel doesn't carry the chemistry table itself, so the precise mineralization and pH aren't visible here, but the type itself marks it as a mild, easy-soaking water rather than a sharp or strongly mineralized one.
