Tōgō Onsen No. 2 Gensen and Suimeisō Gensen (mixed)
Analysis UnverifiedTōgō Onsen grew up on the shore of Lake Tōgō, where hot water is said to rise even from the lakebed, and together with Hawai Onsen across the water it forms a lakeside spa district. The blend of two sources emerges at 47.9°C, clear yet rich in both salt and sulfate, pairing a skin-wrapping warmth with a refreshing finish. It suits travelers who want to sink slowly into the water while the lake glows at sunset.
The bar length shows how abundant each component is compared to thresholds that make it "distinctive" (therapeutic spring standards, beauty spring criteria, etc.).
A rare radioactive spring where trace radiation absorbed via inhalation and skin is expected to stimulate cells (the "hormesis effect").
A trace component with gentle antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action.
- Chloride (salt)370 mg/kg
- Feel
- Tastes salty; the warmth lasts after you get out.
- Said to
- Salt is said to form a film on the skin that keeps in heat and moisture. Bathing indications include cuts, poor circulation and dry skin.
- Note

- Your skin feels moist; the water may taste slightly bitter.
- Said to

- Note
- It warms you well—do not stay in too long.
- Metasilicic acid68.2 mg/kg
- Feel
- Your skin may feel smoother.
- Said to
- 50 mg/kg or more is said to mark a “skin-beautifying spring”; it is also used in skincare.
- Note
- The “skin-beautifying” label is a common rule of thumb, not a legal standard.

▸Note
The temperature, pH and component values shown here are based on the hot spring analysis (source). Actual values in the bath may differ depending on heating, dilution, recycling and filtration. Please check current usage status at the facility.
Rich in chloride and sulfate, this water warms you quickly and keeps you warm afterward, so soak for about 10 minutes with breaks. It feels gentle at pH 7.9; skip a heavy rinse afterward to keep the warmth longer.
With 370.4 mg/kg of chloride forming a thin salt film on the skin, this spring is traditionally associated with restorative warmth after bathing. Its 230.3 mg/kg of sulfate and 70.1 mg/kg of calcium give it the character of a sulfate spring long valued for stiff joints and muscles, and a soak in the 47.9°C water may help relieve pain.
This water warms you quickly, so watch for light-headedness and drink water before and after bathing. It may sting cuts; keep baths short if you feel unwell.
