Shimabara, Nagasaki Prefecture
Shimabara Onsen Yutorogi-no-Yu
An easy, low-cost stop in Shimabara's historic town, with source-flowing water in the main bath, a sauna and a rest room. It is more practical than scenic: no private bath or view-focused outdoor bath is listed.

- Spring source
- Shimabara Onsen, a 3:7 blend of the Motoike and Kannonjima sources.
- Spring classification
- Magnesium-sodium bicarbonate spring; low-salinity, neutral and hot spring.
- pH
- An exact current value is not published; the city classifies the spring as neutral.

- Not published for this facility. The roughly 300 m³/day figure refers to the wider Shimabara Onsen system, not this bath.
- Water handling
- Official tourism information identifies the main bath as source-flowing. A city heat-pump system helps manage the supplied water's temperature; treatment conditions for each other pool are not fully published.
Bathing indications
The city lists cuts, peripheral circulation issues, sensitivity to cold and dry skin among general bathing indications; this is not a medical treatment guarantee.
The heat-pump system uses waste heat from the nearby Takara Shuzo plant; the city does not describe plant wastewater as bathing water.
How to read a bath profile
Spring-source temperature and actual bathing temperature are kept separate. Each score is shown independently for comparison rather than collapsed into one overall score.
