A simple thermal spring drawn from the "Yoshimatsu Kawahigashi No. 5" source in Tsurumaru, Yusui. The water emerges hot at 62.5 °C and is mildly alkaline, soft on the skin, with a faint pale-yellow tint. It is unusually rich in metasilicic acid (170.5 mg/kg), which leaves the kind of silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother and places it squarely in Japan's beauty-water family.

372. Maeda Hot Spring, Tsurumaru, Kagoshima ★ An old-school onsen for ¥200. The stated hours are 07:00 to 20:00. They stamp the Kyushu 88 Onsen stamp rally. It took me a while to find the owner to pay and get the stamp, as I understood it, he and his wife live in the house next to the onsen. There was also a group of very curious, but frightened young cats running around the grounds. Inside there is a bath with clear water, the temperature was 46. There is also a small reservoir with water, where the measured temperature was 49.7. The air inside was great, it was cold and fresh like outside. A good place, memorable. 09.01.2025
