A high-temperature sodium-calcium chloride-sulfate spring rising at 98 °C — chloride leads, with sulfate adding quiet body underneath. Weakly alkaline and moderately mineralized (1.7 g/kg dissolved), it carries a generous 220 mg/kg of metasilicic acid that leaves skin noticeably smoother. The water shows a faintly milky cast with a slight salty edge and the unmistakable wisp of hydrogen sulfide.

490. Sanso Kannawaen, Beppu (pt.1) ★★★ Stayed overnight, located in the Kannawa area. Had the double breakfast, it was a solid Japanese-style one. Not included in the Beppu Onsen-do, no stamp. Accommodation only, no higaeri available. Rooms come with onsens ranging from simple indoor baths to small stone rotenburo. 1. Outdoor zone. Super amazing view of Beppu and the bay, both at night and during the day. Very impressive. 1.1. Large bath with blue milky cloudy water, temperature 43-45 depending on the spot. 1.2. Barrel bath, water temperature 46. 1.3. Barrel bath, water temperature 44.5. 1.4. Barrel bath, water temperature 42.5. 05.04.2025 06.04.2025
