Sodium Chloride spring

A sodium chloride spring drawn from the Kinryu Jigoku source in Beppu's Kannawa district. At 86.5 °C it ranks among Japan's hottest natural sources, weakly acidic and salty with strong heat-retention. It is unusually rich in metasilicic acid at 566 mg/kg, leaving a thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother.

469. Shouninyu, Beppu An old-school onsen for ¥100, with no staff, no body soap, and no shower. The stated hours are 10:00 to 17:00. They stamp the Beppu Onsen-do stamp, though it may be at the cafe across the street, and the stamp used during the festival differs from the one used on normal days. The water is clear, and the temperature is 44. It is easy to breathe inside. 03.04.2025 30.03.2026
