A sodium chloride spring of hypertonic, near-neutral character that emerges at 66.8 °C — among Japan's hotter natural sources. Mineralization of 18,180 mg/kg gives it a pronounced salty body that leaves a mineral film on the skin. A respectable 106 mg/kg of metasilicic acid layers in a touch of silica smoothness on top of the salt.
