A scorching 98 °C sodium chloride source, neutral in pH but richly mineralized at 14.4 g/kg dissolved solids — the kind of body that leaves a salty mineral film on the skin and holds heat long after the soak. Clear at the wellhead, it oxidises into a brown sediment on standing and carries the salty, iron-tinged 'kinki' character that defines Arima's gold-spring tradition. Among Japan's hottest natural sources.
