Kitsu Onsen is a hot spring town in Kyoto, Japan. The water leaves the ground at 41°C, comfortably warm. Officially the water is classed as simple spring. Its sources put out around 1,400 litres a minute.
Mild and low in dissolved minerals. Usually clear and gentle on the skin, which is why these baths are often recommended for first-timers.
