  • Recoveryfatigue, stress

A lightly mineralized simple thermal spring — the posted ion table totals just 374 mg/kg of dissolved solids, so the water is gentle rather than assertive. Sodium accounts for almost the entire cation side, while chloride and carbonate lead the anions. What lifts it is metasilicic acid at 59.7 mg/kg, enough to leave the thin silica film that places this water in Japan's beauty-water family — skin feels noticeably smoother afterwards.

About

This day-use bathhouse in Gero Onsen has only outdoor baths, no indoor tub. The rock-built pools sit by the river and include a cave-like tub on the men's side, a waterfall bath called utaseyu (打たせ湯), a box-style steam bath (箱蒸し, hako-mushi), and a jet/bubble bath. Men's and women's sides are kept separate. Upstairs there's a tatami rest area with massage chairs.

57. Curegarden Open Air Bath, Gero Onsen, Gifu ★ Hot spring for ¥800. Visited as part of the Gero tegata. Opening hours are listed as 08:00 to 20:45 (except Thursday). They were stamping the Gifu 2025-2026 Goyoin meguri stamp rally booklet. The bath photos are from the internet, and they match. The facility has a dense outdoor bath area. It is behind a fence, so there is no view while sitting in the baths. The water in all the baths is clear, with a slight smell of chlorine. 1. One large bath, divided into three sections: 1.1. A bath in a "cave" style under a roof. Temperature 43.5. 1.2. A middle bath with bubbles. It feels like sitting in a pot of boiling water. Temperature 42.5. 1.3. The main stone bath under a roof. Temperature 41.5. 2. A green barrel. Temperature 40. 3. A recessed barrel with warm water. Temperature 36. 4. A recessed barrel with cold water. 5. Two steam cabinets. 6. Two utaseyu. A solid place. The outdoor area may be a bit too dense, but it is full of features. 10.04.2024 13.03.2026
