Classification

Sodium Chloride-Bicarbonate spring

An alkaline simple thermal spring at pH 8.9, sitting in the Japanese beauty-water family with the characteristic slippery feel. Mineralization is light (289 mg/kg dissolved solids), so the 56 °C source reads as gentle and easy to soak in rather than mineral-heavy. The water itself is nearly colourless, tasteless and odourless — the appeal is the soft, smooth feel on the skin rather than any sensory signature.

Review of Kappa Onsen! A rustic onsen with a unique twist. Kappa figures everywhere from the entrance to the baths. Entry is 400 yen. There's an indoor bath and a rotenburo, around 41 degrees. Inside the indoor bath stands a kappa statue of a rather indecent nature, holding its private parts. The rotenburo has no view due to a fence, but if you walk up to it, there's a river and fields beyond.
