Ohbuki hot spring in the Tamagawa hot spring area, which is associated with volcanic activity, is a famous hot spring characterized by strong acidity and presence of radium. Many studies on the thermal water of Ohbuki hot spring have been carried out. Iwasaki et al. (1963) reported that the anions in thermal water of Ohbuki hot spring are transported by volcanic gas derived from active magma, while Yoshiike (1996) proposed that the cations in the thermal water are derived from volcanic rocks in the shallow underground part around Tamagawa. We examined the chemical characteristics of thermal water on the basis of concentrations of major and trace elements and Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic ratios of the thermal water and estimated the source of elements in the thermal water.
