Classification

Calcium-Sodium Chloride spring

A sulfur-bearing calcium-sodium chloride spring. Weakly alkaline (pH 7.8 at the wellhead, 8.9 in the lab) and lukewarm at 28 degrees C, so it is reheated before bathing. Chloride dominates the anion side at over 98 percent — a salty, heat-retaining water — and the hydrogen sulfide content (total sulfur 22.4 mg/kg) carries the unmistakable rotten-egg note of H2S.

641. Business Hotel Kushimoto, Kushimoto, Wakayama Visited for day use at 700 yen. Day use available from 16:00 to 22:00. They have the 12 Onsen of Wakayama stamp — they gave me one for free and covered the fee. Bath photo from the internet matches. Old-school indoor bath with clear water, slight sulfurous onsen smell. Temperature 40. It's stuffy inside. 03.11.2025
