A hot (73.3 °C) sodium chloride-bicarbonate spring, cooled to about 48 °C at the bath. Alkaline pH gives it a soft, faintly slippery feel, while the salty chloride backbone is rounded out by bicarbonate softness. Mineralization is moderate at ~1,437 mg/kg, with a useful 130 mg/kg of metasilicic acid layered in for skin smoothness.

493. Ryokan Yamashiroya, Yufuin Visited for higaeri, 1000 yen, the bath is given as a private one. The onsen settlement is quite far from main Yufuin. Higaeri available from 10:00 to 16:00. They stamp the 88 Kyushu Onsens passport. The staff was somewhat surprised by a foreigner visiting for higaeri. After the onsen, the grandma gave me a cola. Various Showa-era references inside. Outdoor stone bath, barely any view. Clear water, temperature 42. If you're passing through or staying at the onsen settlement's ryokan, might be worth a stop. But going there specifically just for this is a bit of a stretch location-wise. 07.04.2025
