Red onsen
RED 真紅 ONSEN
Many red-colored onsens contain iron. The iron chemically changes its color when exposed to air, turning the onsen water red. It is recognized that bathing in red spring water is good for your body, providing a warming effect.
For a long time, the Gold Pond Spring in Arima Onsen and the Gold Spring Water in Ikaho Onsen have been famous red-colored onsens. You can find these kinds of red-colored springs elsewhere in Japan.
When you take a bath in a red-colored onsen, you typically smell rust. Yu-pon thinks the number one red-colored onsen is located at Tengu Onsen on Mount Asama. The area offers cottages with bungalows, an auto camp village, horse riding, and a ryokan (lodge) for Asama Mountain hikes.
The color of the red-colored onsen at Tengu Onsen looks like carrot juice.
