Kofuku no Yu is a blend of three separate sources: the Yueikai No. 1 borehole, the Shibu Onsen combined source, and the Kadoya source, brought together in the inn's regulating tank before the water reaches the baths. The result is a sodium-calcium chloride water with sulfate adding quiet body, weakly acidic, almost colorless and clear, with a faint salty tang on the lips. It leaves the ground above 65 °C, putting it among Japan's hottest natural sources, and carries a generous 156.5 mg/kg of metasilicic acid. That silica film places it squarely in Japan's beauty-water family and leaves skin noticeably smoother after a soak.

815. Sakaeya Ryokan, Shibu Onsen, Nagano ★ I visited for a day-use bath for ¥1 500. Day-use hours are listed as 09:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 19:00. A modern place, nicely renovated. Towels and a water cooler are available in the changing room. 1. Open-air bath. There is no view, but it feels cozy. The water is clear, with fine white lime sediment. Temperature: 43.5. 2. Indoor bath area. It is tolerable to breathe inside. 2.1. Deep bath. The water is clear, temperature 39. 2.2. Bath with clear water, temperature 42. A pleasant place in good condition, worth keeping in mind. 16.01.2026
