  the one that I went to in Kyoto uses spring water or so they say but they heat in in one giant tank.
  
  the one i went to in Taipei was natural hot spring i think, even got sulphur smell one. Moreover, they even have a water inlet for cold water (to cool down the hot spring water).

  do amoeba melt in hot water ?
