A simple alkaline thermal water supplied from Gero Onsen's Koda pump station. The alkalinity gives the slippery, soft-on-the-skin feel that places it in Japan's beauty-water family, and a generous load of metasilicic acid reinforces it, leaving skin noticeably smoother after a soak. Dissolved solids are light, so the water is gentle on the body and suits a long, unhurried bath rather than a short hot plunge. The posted analysis lists the spring-type indications for this water as autonomic nervous system instability, insomnia and depressed mood.

About

This traditional Japanese-style ryokan sits in Gero Onsen. The men's and women's baths are on the top floor, an open-air tub and an indoor bath each, with a view out over town. The water is piped in from Gero's own spring and has a notably smooth, silky feel on the skin, locals call it bihada no yu (美肌の湯), skin-beautifying water. There's also a private cypress-wood bath, bookable at check-in, for some time on your own. The inn itself keeps a quiet, traditional feel: ikebana arranged throughout by the okami (the innkeeper's wife), and art from the owner's own collection on display in the halls.

61. Kissenkan Hotel, Gero Onsen, Gifu I visited for a higaeri using a Gero tegata, the regular price is 900. Higaeri is listed from 12/12:30 to 14:00 (every day) and from 18:00 to 20:00 (except Saturday). 1. Outdoor stone bath. View of the city, but not especially impressive. The water is clear, temperature 40.5. 2. Indoor bath. The water is clear, temperature 42. Breathing inside is tolerable. 11.04.2024 12.03.2026
