Gero Onsen — a sodium-led simple thermal water as documented on this wall panel. Mineralization is light (total dissolved solids 374.4 mg/kg, gas excluded), so the water reads gently on the body rather than heavily. The panel reproduced here covers only the ion table; spring temperature, pH and the formal classification are not visible in this crop, so the bath-side feel is best confirmed at the property itself.

About

Hidasanso is a small ryokan on a hillside above Gero Onsen, a short uphill walk from the hot spring street. The single indoor bath runs straight from the spring around the clock; there's no rotenburo and no private bath, just this one. The water is a plain alkaline spring, soft and faintly silky on the skin. It's family-run, with dinner served in the room around Hida beef, and rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows looking down over Gero's rooftops and the hills. The building is older, and the pace is quiet, well away from the crowds in the valley below.

63. Hidasanso, Gero Onsen ★ I went there on a tegata for a higaeri visit (listed as 15:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, 18:00 to 20:00 on weekends). There is only one small indoor bath. The view through the fogged-up glass is of a small garden and a frog. Older men were there too. The water is clear, and the water temperature is hardcore, definitely the hottest of all the onsen I’ve been to in Gero. If you want it hot, keep that in mind. 11.04.2024
