A sodium-led bicarbonate spring — the classic jūsō-sen style — layered with a salty chloride edge and the quiet body of sulfate, emerging hot at 51.0 °C. Weakly alkaline and soft on the skin, it sits in the Japanese beauty-water family. With 88 mg/kg of metasilicic acid, it leaves a thin silica film that makes skin feel smoother afterwards.
