Classification

Sodium Chloride spring

A sodium chloride spring rising at the Jigokubaru source in Beppu's Kannawa district — salty and strongly heat-retaining, colorless and clear with a faintly salty taste. At 92.6 °C it is among Japan's hottest natural sources, hot enough to use without reheating. It carries a generous 515 mg/kg of metasilicic acid, leaving a thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother.

77. Jigokubaru Onsen, Beppu An old-school onsen for ¥100. The stated hours are 10:00 to 17:00. There is no staff, and no shower. They stamp the Beppu onsen-do stamp. The stamp is not at the onsen itself, but at the Kotobukiya shop a few buildings away, and it is unavailable outside the shop's business hours, with a break from 12:30 to 14:00 and on Wednesdays, even though the onsen itself is open then. The water is clear, and the temperature is 44. It is comfortable to breathe inside. 29.04.2024 30.03.2026
