Classification

Sodium Chloride-Bicarbonate spring

A sodium-led chloride spring with bicarbonate softness layered in and an iron-bearing character — classified as a strong-salt spring. With 36.9 g/kg of dissolved solids it exceeds ocean salinity and leaves a thick mineral film on the skin. At the source the water shows a milky supernatant with a faintly salty, bitter edge; the iron content oxidizes and colors the water on contact with air. Neutral pH keeps it from stinging despite the heavy mineralization.

326. Fukuro no Yu, Wakayama Super sento with natural hot spring water, 10-20 minutes from Wakayama station for 1200. Operating hours listed as 10:00-23:00 (Sun-Thu) and 10:00-24:00 (Fri-Sat). They stamp the 41 Kansai Super Sento stamp rally 24/25. Has karaoke, restaurant, chill zones, hyperbaric chamber, massage, and manga. Has a stone bath. Located on a basement floor, so no rotenburo. Bath photos from the internet, roughly match (there aren't really any good photos online). Breathing is fine inside. 1. Two-level bath. Upper level: cloudy white-brown water, rotten smell, temperature around 37. Lower level: also white-brown water but clearer, temperature around 41. 2. Two barrel baths, water similar to the main bath but much less concentrated and mostly clear. Temperature around 40. 3. Three reclining jet baths, temperature around 40. 4. Silk bath, temperature around 40. 5. Sauna. 6. Cold bath. Even though there's no rotenburo, the place itself is solid and located close to the station. Worth considering for a visit in Wakayama.
