Hijiori Onsen Communal Wells No.2/3/5 + Matsuya No.1 (storage-tank blend)Operated by · 高山松太郎(松屋)
Mixed source
Sodium Chloride-Bicarbonate spring
A blended source served from a storage tank at Matsuya in Hijiori Onsen: three communal wells (Kumiai No.2, No.3, No.5) plus the inn's own Matsuya No.1, combined before delivery. The chemistry is sodium-led chloride water with bicarbonate softness layered in — a salty, heat-retaining body softened by a HCO₃ finish. At the wellhead the water is faintly cloudy with a salt, iron and astringent bite to the tongue; in the lab sample it yellows to a pale tint, the trace iron oxidizing on contact with air. Metasilicic acid runs a generous 121 mg/kg, putting it in the Japanese 'beauty-water' family with a soft, smoothing feel on the skin.
