A sodium-led chloride-bicarbonate blend drawn from three wells. The wellhead runs at a striking 75.5 °C — among Japan's hottest natural sources — and the water carries 11.1 g/kg of dissolved solids, putting it in hypertonic, ocean-strong territory with a clear salty tang. Bicarbonate softness layers in, and 89 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves a faint silky film on the skin, alongside the unmistakable whiff of hydrogen sulfide.

683. Kotobuki, Shirahama, Wakayama Old simple hotel in pretty rough condition that needs maintenance. Visited for higaeri for 500. Higaeri hours are 10:00-15:00. Old-school indoor onsen. Tiles are partially coming off the bath floor. Clear water, temperature around 40. 10.11.2025
