Bicarbonate
Classification

Sodium Bicarbonate spring

A sodium-led bicarbonate spring of the classic jūsō-sen style, emerging at a hot 55.2 °C from the wellhead. Weakly alkaline pH (7.9 at source) gives the soft, slippery feel that places it firmly in Japan's beauty-water family. A generous 207.9 mg/kg of metasilicic acid leaves the kind of thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother after a soak.

359. Iwato Onsen, Kirishima, Kagoshima Visited for higaeri for 400 yen (listed as 06:30 to 22:00, closed the first Tuesday of each month). They stamp the 88 Onsen of Kyushu book. Inside: a semicircular stone bath, clear water, temperature around 43. Breathing is good. Outdoor stone bath, clear water, temperature around 41-41.5. Didn't really grab me or leave a lasting impression — can be skipped unless going for the achievement.
