A sodium-calcium chloride spring served at Kounoyu, blended in a tank from four separate wells (Nos. 27, 28, 29 and 30). Neutral in pH and salty, it is a heat-retaining chloride water that keeps the body warm after the bath. It carries a generous 87 mg/kg of metasilicic acid, leaving a thin silica film for noticeably smoother skin, and is classified as a hypotonic high-temperature spring.

26. Kounoyu, Kinosaki Onsen, Hyogo Onsen. Included in the hotel pass or in the ¥1,500 pass. Towel, small one, ¥200, large towel rental, ¥300 per day (you can return it at any Kinosaki Onsen). It is located a little away from the station, the farthest of the seven Kinosaki onsen. The indoor bath is hot. The outdoor bath is small, with a standard temperature. The water is clear, with a slight chlorine smell. 30.12.2023
