A sodium-led bicarbonate spring — the classic jūsō-sen style — that also carries a weakly radioactive character. Weakly alkaline and soft on the skin, it sits in the Japanese beauty-water family. Dissolved solids of 1,940 mg/kg give it moderate, noticeable body. The bath is diluted to make up for limited source flow, reheated to a comfortable bathing temperature, and for hygiene it is served via recirculation and disinfected with silver ions and chlorine.
