A blended simple thermal spring: the certificate names the city-owned Unsenji source and others, sampled at the outlet of the storage tank that pools them. Neutral in pH and lightly mineralized at 764 mg/kg of dissolved solids, it is gentle water with no sharp edges. What lifts it above plain is the silica — metasilicic acid at 159 mg/kg, enough to leave a thin moisturizing film on the skin and to place it squarely in Japan's beauty-water family.
