Japanese: 湯本[温泉] - ゆのもと

This hot spring is located in the inner part of Yumoto Bay on the northwest coast of Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture. It belongs to Katsumoto Town, Iki District. It is believed that the activity of small acidic intrusive rocks such as rhyolite and quartz porphyry along the tectonic line that crosses the island from Yumoto to the southeast is closely related to the source of the hot spring. The spring is a pure saline spring containing bromine, with a temperature of 69°C. It is the only hot spring in Iki and has been designated a national hot spring. [Takeuchi Kiyofumi]
