A sodium-led simple sulfur spring of the alkaline family — at pH 9.5 it sits right at the edge of strongly alkaline territory, where the skin takes on a distinctly slippery, soft feel. Mineralization is light (158 mg/kg total), but total sulfur reaches 2.5 mg/kg, just clearing the bar for the sulfur spring classification. The wellhead carries a faint rotten-egg whiff of H₂S, and a sip leaves a soft sulfur taste with an unexpected hint of sweetness — a clean, gently bubbly beauty-water in the Japanese beauty water tradition.

About

A plain day-use bathhouse in the hills of Shirahama, upstream on the Hiokigawa (日置川). There is one indoor bath and a big window running along it, so the river and the mountains sit right in front of you while you soak. The water is a strongly alkaline sulfur spring: the smell is faint, the slipperiness is not, and skin comes out smooth. It surfaces at around 38 degrees.

660. Ebine Hot Spring, Shirahama, Wakayama Onsen for 650 yen. Located far from everything. Operating hours from 10:30 to 18:00. They stamp the 88 Onsen of Wakayama stamp book. Indoor bath with clear water, has a small bubble zone. Temperature 41.5. View through the glass of the river and the opposite bank. Breathing inside is fine. It was cozy. 07.11.2025
