湯王温泉

Yuo Onsen Spring
Sampled at mixing tank
Simple
Classification

Sodium Bicarbonate-Chloride spring

A weakly alkaline simple thermal spring of light mineralization (467.7 mg/kg dissolved solids), but with a generous 136.9 mg/kg of metasilicic acid that lands it squarely in Japan's beauty-water family — the silica leaves a thin film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother. At the wellhead the water shows a faint yellow tint with a slight metallic note in both taste and smell; the bath is fed from a storage tank rather than directly from the wellhead.
