There are deposits of the radioactive mineral hokutolite near the spring. Hokutolite is composed of a type of barite (barium sulfate), including lead and traces of strontium and calcium. The hokutolite is about ten times as radioactive as the standard background. There is at least one more hot spring in Tamagawa. Nibukawa Hot Spring is also in Tamagawa.
