Classification

Sodium Chloride spring

Arima's signature Kinsen (Gold Spring) — a 55:37 blend of the Ariake No. 1 and No. 2 wells emerging at 81 degrees Celsius. As iron-laden water meets the air it oxidises into the famous reddish-brown turbid bath, with a sharply salty, metallic taste. At 26.13 g/kg dissolved solids and 15,470 mg/kg of chloride it is a hypersaline chloride spring exceeding ocean salinity, with iron at 46.6 mg/kg giving the rust-red coating. Heavy, mineral-coated water that leaves a thick salt veil on the skin.

339. Arima Gyoen, Arima Onsen Visited as higaeri for 1100 with towel (listed hours 11:00-14:30). Bath photos from the internet, matches reality. Located very close to the tourist center. 1. Indoor area. Breathing is easy. 1.1. Large bath with clear water, temperature around 41.5. 1.2. Small bath with cloudy brown water, temperature around 41. 2. Outside on a balcony with an open roof: a wooden bath with clear water, temperature around 41. The bath area is fairly simple but cozy. Worth considering for a higaeri visit.
