A sodium chloride spring rising in the Kannawa district of Beppu and running very hot at 93.0 °C — among Japan's hottest natural sources. It is weakly acidic, which gives the water a faintly tightening feel on the skin; the water itself is colorless and clear, lightly salty on the tongue with a faint metallic note. The chemical standout is metasilicic acid at 584 mg/kg, an unusually generous figure that places this water in Japan's beauty-water family and leaves skin noticeably smoother. Overall mineralization is moderate at 4,670 mg/kg of dissolved solids, enough for real body without heaviness, and the certificate's sample was drawn at the storage-tank outlet rather than at the wellhead.

83. Oniishi No Yu, Beppu An onsen near Oniishibozu Jigoku, the entrance is immediately to the left of the entrance to the jigoku, and then you need to walk a little farther through the fenced area to reach the onsen itself. The price is ¥620 for the public bath, ¥2000 for the private bath (I did not use it). Opening hours are listed as 10:00 to 21:30, except on the first day of each month. They stamp the Beppu Onsen stamp rally. 1. Indoor bath with clear water, temperature 41. Breathing inside is fine. 2. Open-air bath on the first floor. No view, it is behind a fence. The water is clear, temperature 42. 3. Open-air bath on the second floor. The view through the fence is of trees and mountains in the distance. The water is clear, temperature 42. 29.04.2024 04.01.2026 30.03.2026
