A blend of Totsukawa Onsen's No.2 and No.7 wells, this is a sodium-led bicarbonate spring — the classic jūsō-sen style — with a salt-tinged finish from a chloride sub-type. Soft on the skin, it sits in the Japanese beauty-water family, the water colorless and clear but carrying a faint sulfur note at the source. It emerges hot, at 58 °C, among the warmer natural sources.

620. Gyoja Minshuku Taiyo no Yu, Totsukawa Onsen, Nara I went for a higaeri for ¥1000, private baths for one hour. It was not very clear what hours the higaeri is available, I just stopped by on the way and on my second try I found the staff. I was assigned a random bath on the 3rd floor. An outdoor bath on the balcony. The view through the fence is of the river, mountains, and forest. The water is clear, with fine lime and a little sandy soil. There is a shallow area in the bath. Temperature was 44. 16.06.2025
