A sodium-dominated bicarbonate-chloride spring — jūsō-sen in the older nomenclature, which the certificate still records as a salt-bearing soda water. Alkaline and soft on the skin, it sits squarely in Japan's beauty-water family, with the smooth, slippery touch bicarbonate springs are known for. The water is colorless and clear with only the faintest salty note on the tongue, while the chloride fraction adds the heat-retaining finish that keeps warmth in after the bath. The source itself ranks among Japan's hottest, and a generous 166 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves the kind of silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother.

112. Tenman Onsen, Beppu An old-school onsen for ¥200. The stated hours are 07:00 to 10:00 and 15:00 to 22:00 (except the 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month). They stamp the Beppu Onsen-do seal. Staff are sometimes there. No shower. The bath photo from the internet matches. The water is clear, and the temperature is 45. It is easy to breathe inside. 01.05.2024 03.01.2026
