飯森泉と杦木第5号泉の混合泉

Blend of Iimori Spring and Sugiki No. 5 Spring

Mixed source

Bicarbonate
+ Chloride
Known good for
  • Smooth skindry, rough skin
  • Aches & jointsstiff shoulders
  • Warmingcold sensitivity

This is a blended source: two separate wells are combined before the water reaches the baths, and the mix is certified as a sodium bicarbonate-chloride spring. That places it in the jūsō-sen (soda-water) style — the bicarbonate fraction does the skin-smoothing work, while the chloride side leaves a faint salty edge and helps the warmth linger after you get out. The water is neutral and hypotonic, so it sits lightly on the body, and the certificate's spring-type indications name cuts, poor peripheral circulation, cold sensitivity, dry skin and low mood, putting it squarely in Japan's beauty-water family.

687. Kiri-no-Sato Takahara Lodge "Organic Hotel", Tanabe, Wakayama ★ Visited for higaeri for 600. Higaeri hours are 15:00-19:00 but very unstable - better to call before visiting. They sell the Wakayama 12 Onsen stamp book. The place itself is unusual. Feels like a guesthouse with onsen, but with full meals and yukata, located deep in the countryside, yet lots of foreign visitors among the guests. Staff-wise, the person at the front desk acting as the owner was not Japanese, but the female staff preparing dinner spoke Japanese. Indoor bath with clear water, temperature around 41.5. Breathing inside is comfortable. Worth keeping in mind if you need accommodation near the area or along the pilgrimage route. 10.11.2025
