Kibeya Hot Springs Geyser

It wasn't my destination, but since it's a rare sight, I decided to check it out. Just off National Route 187, I came across a hot spring inn called Matsunoyu (currently closed). I parked there and walked a little way up the narrow road next to it to find the geyser. An elderly lady👵 who lives nearby told me, "If you wait 5-10 minutes, you'll be able to see the hot water gushing out➰," and said kindly, "I'm so glad you came all the way from far away➰." I waited for over 10 minutes, but I didn't get to see the hot water gushing out this time...😭 Next time, I'd like to take more time to go and see it❗ I hope the elderly lady👵 who greeted me so kindly stays healthy and healthy!

It's not the typical geyser that erupts with a "whoosh," but rather a gentle "fizzing" of water. It seems to be propelled by carbon dioxide, and the champagne-like white water rises to a height of about 1.5 meters. It erupts every 25 minutes, so even if it's not erupting when you arrive, you can see it after a short wait. Geysers themselves are rare, so I think it's worth seeing. Incidentally, it's not hot at all.

It's like an activity after a bath. A geyser erupts at a height of about 1 meter. It has a faint sulfurous smell. It erupts about once every 30 minutes, so whether you have to wait or not is pretty much a matter of luck. Those who see it right away are lucky today. On your way back, it might be a good idea to thank the gods at the small shrine by the hot spring on the right.

The geyser at the source of Kibedani Onsen in Kakigi Village, Yoshika Town, Shimane Prefecture, erupts for about five minutes every 25 minutes. The force that causes it to erupt is carbon dioxide. It is a cold spring containing iron. Matsunoyu, located below, is currently closed.

I waited for about 20 minutes, and just when I was starting to get worried, it actually started to erupt, and I was so moved. It starts with just a bubbling sound. Just as the sign there said, it erupted for about 5 minutes and then stopped completely.
