A blended spring drawing on three wells — Oka No. 191, No. 152, and No. 137 — sampled from the storage tank in Ito's Suehiro neighborhood. The wellhead temperature is a hot 44.2 °C, but the total dissolved solids sit at a light 808 mg/kg, placing it firmly in simple thermal territory. Weakly alkaline at pH 8.2, the water reads soft on the skin, with sodium leading the cations and chloride and sulfate sharing the anion column almost evenly.

About

Daitokan bills itself as a bath lover's inn, and six baths back it up: two indoor bathhouses, a large open-air bath, and three private baths, a Goemon-buro (五右衛門風呂) and a reclining bath among them, that any guest can use for free without booking. All of it, room baths included, runs on undiluted source water that's kept flowing rather than recirculated. It's a mild, low-scent spring that reviewers describe as gentle and slightly smooth on the skin, with a hot tub and a cooler one rather than a sauna. The building has an old, lived-in feel that regulars seem to like, and while dinner isn't served, breakfast comes free with the stay.

239. Daitokan, Ito ★★ I went for a day visit for ¥1,100 with towels included (listed from 14:00 to 22:00). They stamp the Shizuoka 60 Onsen 24/25 stamp rally. It is in the building next to the well-known Yokikan in the tour chat. The day visit lets you use the public bath, there is a men and women rotation, and three private baths on a first-come, first-served basis. In the end, I managed to get into two private baths and the public bath, without the rotenburo. In all three signs, the water had the same composition. 1. Private outdoor bath. It is separate, and you need to go out of the hotel itself, they even provide separate rubber slippers for this. In the evening it was very cozy. The water is clear, temperature 39. 2. The passage to the indoor public and private baths goes through a cave, which adds a lot to the atmosphere. The indoor bath consists of two parts, the left side is 38.5, the right side is 41. The water is clear, and it is comfortable to breathe inside. 3. Goemon private bath with hellish cauldrons. Very cool, atmospheric, and powerful. Especially after going through another cave section inside the ryokan. The water in the cauldrons is clear, one cauldron is 41.5, the other is 43.5. It is a little stuffy inside. A very cool place for a day visit, a long time slot and very good private baths. I have not yet been to the second public onsen, it says there is a rotenburo. If you are staying at Yokikan, it is the perfect combo to go for a day visit to this ryokan and expand your onsen experience. 08.11.2024
