然別湖畔温泉 is a hot spring town in Hokkaido, Japan. The water leaves the ground at 71°C, hot. Officially the water is classed as chloride spring and sulfur spring.
Salty water. The salt leaves a thin film on the skin, so you stay warm well after leaving the bath.
The classic rotten-egg smell and milky white water. It can tarnish silver jewellery, so take it off.
Figures from the town's Japanese Wikipedia article.
