Classification

Chloride spring

A 52 °C hot simple thermal spring in Beppu's Nakajima district, neutral pH and hypotonic. Total dissolved solids are light at 872 mg/kg, but metasilicic acid runs a generous 200 mg/kg — enough to leave a thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother. Colorless, clear, tasteless and odorless at the source, very gentle on the body.

482. Shinkousen, Beppu An old-school onsen for ¥300, with no staff, no body soap, and no shower. The stated hours are 12:00 to 16:00. They stamp the Beppu Onsen-Do seal. The bath photo from the internet matches the actual one. The water is clear, and the temperature is 41-42. 04.04.2025
