Classification

Calcium-Hydrogen Sulfate spring

An ultra-acidic calcium sulfate spring (pH 2.4) rising at 90.7 °C, among Japan's hottest natural sources. The water carries a faintly milky white, lightly cloudy appearance at the wellhead with a strong sour and metallic tang, sharp enough to sting on contact. Metasilicic acid at 396 mg/kg adds a noticeable silica film, typical of the Myoban onsen field famous for its skin-conditioning waters.

About

A homely ryokan hot spring with the scent of sulfur. Located in the sulfur-scented Myoban area, this is a traditional homely ryokan hot spring. There are two baths, each with a different spring quality. One of them has gray water with a strong acidity of pH 1.8, which is quite unique. Soap does not lather here. The mud settled at the bottom of the bathtub is also distinctive. You can relax and enjoy it privately!
