Chloride
Classification

Sodium Chloride spring

A sodium chloride strong-salt spring (kyoensen) — hypertonic, neutral, and unusually mineralized at 32,209 mg/kg, well above ocean salinity. At the wellhead the water emerges yellow-brown and cloudy with a rusty-iron note and an aggressive salty bite. Pumped from a low-temperature source (27.5 degrees C) and reheated for bathing, it leaves a thick mineral coating on the skin once you climb out. Metaboric acid is high at 880.5 mg/kg, adding extra warmth retention.

698. Kinokuni Onsen, Wakayama Onsen for 900. Operating hours are 12:00-22:00. Photos of baths from the internet roughly match - in person it's a bit more worn. Baths rotate by gender daily. A strange place. The signage outside looks run-down, but the entrance is on the other side and inside everything is quite normal. The price is fairly high for what it is. Indoor area. Breathing inside is bearable. 1. Main bath with bubbles. Slightly murky water with a green-yellow tint, temperature around 41. 2. Three jets, temperature around 40.5. 3. Sauna. 4. Cold bath. 15.11.2025
