A gentle, lightly mineralized simple thermal spring: just 474 mg/kg of dissolved solids, colorless, tasteless and odorless. What it lacks in mineral punch it makes up for in feel, because at pH 9.0 the water is alkaline enough to give the slippery, soap-like touch that places it in Japan's beauty-water family. The certificate records it as a blend of three wells (Kinugawa-Kawaji Onsen Kanko Kaihatsu No. 1 and No. 2, plus the municipal Oharasawa source), sampled not at any single wellhead but at the distribution station where the three come together.

771. Hotel Kinugawa Gyoen, Kinugawa Onsen, Tochigi Budget Oedo. I visited for a day trip. The price is ¥1000 on weekdays, ¥1400 on weekends, and ¥1600 on busy days. Day-trip bathing is listed from 07:00 to 10:00 and from 15:00 to 00:00 (last entry 22:00). There is a bath rotation between men and women. The bath photos online match the actual facility. 1. First set of baths in the men/women rotation. I did not realize that the rotenburo and the indoor bath were separate, so I only used the indoor area. 1.1. Indoor area. Breathing inside is tolerable, there is a chlorine smell. 1.1.1. Clear-water bath, temperature 42. 1.1.2. Shallow bath. 1.1.3. Sauna. 1.2. Separate outdoor area. I did not visit. 2. Second set of baths in the men/women rotation. 2.1. Indoor area. Breathing inside is tolerable. 2.1.1. Clear-water bath, temperature 41.5. 2.1.2. Sauna. 2.2. Separate outdoor area. There is a view through a lattice fence of trees, a bridge with a demon, and other hotels. A rock bath with clear water, temperature 42.5. 10.01.2026 11.01.2026
