Onneyu Onsen Cooperative Spring (Kumiai No. 1, 2 and 3 Mix)

Analysis Unverified
温根湯温泉利用協同組合 温泉(組合1号・2号・3号の混合)
Gentle Sulfur Waters Flowing for 120 Years by the Muka River

Onneyu Onsen began in 1899, when spring rights were granted at a spot the Ainu had used as a hunting lodge. Ooe Honke dates its founding to that year and uses water that the Onneyu Onsen cooperative pumps from three wells (Kumiai No. 1–3) in the Hanaoka district and blends in a mixing tank. At pH 8.8 the water is clear and smooth on the skin with a light sulfur scent, perfect for long soaks in spacious indoor and open-air baths amid the quiet mountains of the Okhotsk region.

BATHING TIPS
AI Generated

The baths include tubs of different sizes and temperatures; pour water over yourself first, warm up in a milder tub, and take breaks in the open-air bath where the air can be cold.

EFFECT STORY
AI Generated

The pH 8.8 alkalinity and 24.0 mg/kg carbonate are traditionally associated with silky skin, and the soft sulfur water (2.7 mg/kg hydrosulfide) invites deep relaxation after a day of travel.

CAUTIONS
AI Generated

Remove metal jewelry, which sulfur can discolor, and avoid overheating on long soaks or getting chilled in the open-air bath.
