It seems like some people were bathing in water with a few unwanted minerals.
According to The Guardian, one of Japan’s most popular hot springs has been drained thanks to a group of perverts who were supposed to be using the secluded onsen for bathing, but were instead using it to have orgies.
Popular Japanese Hot Spring Closed Because Of Too Many Orgies

Fudo no Yu had existed since the late 1860s, but it’s no longer open after almost a year’s worth of complaints from local residents and witnesses regarding a number of “lewd acts,” some of which were filmed and posted online.
That was apparently all fine and dandy, but it was the recent string of weekend orgies featuring “15 middle-aged men and several younger women” that finally forced officials to close the bath that was part of the popular Shiobara onsen resort.
The hot spring was only nine feet in diameter and could only hold a maximum of 10 people at one time, but it was its panoramic views amongst a mountain forest setting that drew large crowds.
And it was probably the fact that there was no caretaker onsite as well as an “honesty box” for payment that drew such a large number of group humpers.
