The water

Two reviewers describe it as a colorless, smooth alkaline (simple) spring at a comfortable temperature; one instead calls it sodium-type water that clings to the skin ('bijin-no-yu'). One skier says it warms you more than famous resorts he has visited; one skeptic felt it was about 40C and wondered if it was really onsen (one review each side).
