Water and bathing details for Nyuto Onsen
Facility-level figures; blank town-wide averages are not inferred.
Nyuto Onsenkyo's inns operate independent springs. The two records below describe their own properties; neither represents the entire seven-inn area.
| Facility | Spring | Source data | Supply | Bath type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tsurunoyu Onsen | The operator lists four named sources—Shirayū, Kuroyū, Nakanoyu, and Takinoyu—with different spring types. | Source temperature: Not published on the cited operator page pH: 6.6–7.4 (Semboku City's 2024 Nyuto Onsenkyo guide listing for Tsurunoyu) | The operator identifies the source for some baths, but does not publish a complete water-handling description for each pool. | Mixed outdoor bath using Shirayū, plus several indoor baths supplied by the property's other named springs. |
| Taenoyu | Two independently sourced springs: a simple spring (Gin-no-Yu) and an acidic magnesium-calcium sulfate spring (Kin-no-Yu). | Source temperature: Not published on the cited operator page pH: 2.52 (the city guide's facility listing; the operator describes two separate springs, so this figure should not be applied to both) | The operator says both natural sources feed its eight baths continuously; some pools are unavailable in winter. | Eight baths using the two springs, including indoor and outdoor pools; some pools close in winter. |
