A simple thermal spring whose alkalinity is the real story: pH 10.3 at the wellhead puts it firmly in strongly alkaline territory, and the water carries the pronounced slippery, soap-like feel that defines Japan's beauty-water family. Mineralization is light — 138 mg/kg of dissolved solids — so the bath is gentle rather than assertive: colorless, clear and tasteless, with only a faint note of hydrogen sulfide detectable at the source. The certificate's spring-type indications are unusually specific for a simple spring, naming autonomic nervous system instability, insomnia and depressed mood alongside the standard list for chronic muscle and joint pain.

About

The large bath splits into indoor and open-air sections for both men and women, fed by an alkaline spring the inn calls Soshin no Yu (双神の湯), named for Mt. Tsukuba's two peaks, Nantai and Nyotai. The water feels notably smooth on the skin, and people come for its effect on skin and joints. A small foot bath in the lounge looks out over a stream and trees. Edoya has stood on Mt. Tsukuba's slope, within the grounds of Tsukuba-san Shrine, for about four hundred years. The shrine is known for matchmaking, and rooms look out over the mountain's seasonal scenery. The mood throughout is calm and unpretentious rather than showy.

A ryokan near the trail to the summit of Mount Tsukuba, with day-use bathing from 11:30 to 15:00, a small restaurant for lunch, and a cafe with ashiyu. There is no rotation of baths, and no sauna. The water is alkaline and very pleasant. The source itself is not especially hot, so it is heated, but because it flows directly from the sacred mountain, it is considered highly therapeutic, rejuvenating, and an "onsen for beautiful women," which makes the skin very soft and beautiful. There is an indoor bath and a very nice rotenburo without a fence, with a view of the forest. Everything is relatively simple, but very pleasant and clean, the food is tasty, with a kind of rustic comfort and very warm, attentive hosts. We were served local specialties, and it was delicious. The rice is also local, from the fields visible from the room.
