A blend of five Umegashima wells, classified as a simple sulfur spring. At pH 9.4 it sits in the alkaline 'beauty-water' band — water that feels slippery on the skin. Mineralization is light (314 mg/kg total), but with 8.9 mg/kg HS⁻ plus thiosulfate and a trace of free H₂S the bath still carries the unmistakable sulfur-spring character: a microgreen-yellow tint and a faint rotten-egg note. A respectable 65.4 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves the skin noticeably smooth afterwards.

282. Yumotoya, Umegashima ★ Onsen cafe. If you buy a set, you can visit the onsen at the cafe. Indoor bath, the water is clear, the temperature is 41, and it has that proper onsen sulfur smell. It is comfortable to breathe inside. There is also an outdoor bath, but it was empty. If you happen to be in this village, there should be no question about whether to visit. 14.11.2024
