Iwaki Yumoto Onsen sits in Fukushima Prefecture and holds an unusual distinction among Japanese hot spring towns: its single underground source pushes out roughly five tonnes of water per minute, a rate that places it among the most productive springs in the country. The water is classified as a sodium chloride and sulfate spring and carries a notable sulfur quality. Together with Arima and Dogo, Iwaki Yumoto is counted as one of Japan's Three Ancient Hot Springs.
