Hot water flowing down from the travertine dome, worth seeing.
The fragile and precious undeveloped hot spring is hard to believe that it is located so close to a town.
Notice

The parking lot was adjacent to the springs, with a huge travertine dome behind it.
![Travertine Dome 01](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/09/red-hill-hot-springs20.jpg)
Water flowed over a wide area of the reddish-brown hill.
![Upper Pool 02](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/09/red-hill-hot-springs10.jpg)
I was able to climb to the top.
There was only one source and it was fenced off due to danger.
![Upper Pool 03](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/09/red-hill-hot-springs15.jpg)
Measured high temperature of 154 degrees F.
The bright coloration appears to be due to a unique thermophilic bacterium.

Once the hot water flowed out of the source, it was stored in this pool.

It would have been a great view if I could have soaked here, but unfortunately it was too hot to enter.
Ruins-like pools

The water flows down the hill, letting nature take its course.

In the process, it is cooled to an appropriate temperature.

Three soaking pools were set up in a staircase configuration.
![Waterfall 02](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/09/red-hill-hot-springs02.jpg)
The bottom of the pools was natural ground, so some mud would be flung about.
![Ruins 01](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/09/red-hill-hot-springs05.jpg)
The surrounding area was partially covered with bricks, giving it a slightly ancient ruins-like atmosphere.
![Lower Pool 02](https://hotspringers.net/ja/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/09/red-hill-hot-springs03.jpg)
The bottom pool was lukewarm for a long soak.

The water was cloudy with a metallic smell.
