Classification

Sodium Bicarbonate-Chloride spring

A weakly alkaline sodium bicarbonate-chloride spring rising at a striking 81 °C — one of Japan's hottest natural sources at this site. The bicarbonate-dominant chemistry, classified as the legacy jūsō-sen (soda-water) style, gives the slippery feel Ureshino is famous for as one of the country's three great beauty-water onsens, while the chloride layer adds heat-retaining body. Metasilicic acid at 135.6 mg/kg leaves a faintly hydrating silica film, and the wellhead reads only mildly salty.

440. Ureshino Public Hot Spring (Siebold's Bath) An old-school onsen in an interesting building for 3 Ureshino tickets. Operating hours listed as 6:00 to 22:00. They stamp the Ureshino 10 Onsen book. They sell the stamp book and higaeri tickets. Bath photos from the internet are accurate. Inside there are two baths with clear water that has a soapy feel, with a slight chlorine smell. Temperature in one bath is 41-42, in the other 42. The air inside is pleasant. 03/30/2025
