An alkaline simple thermal spring drawn from the Koda pumping station in Gero. The high alkalinity gives it the slippery, soft-on-the-skin feel that places it squarely in Japan's beauty-water family. The water is only lightly mineralized and gentle on the body, yet it carries a generous load of metasilicic acid, which leaves the thin silica film that makes skin feel noticeably smoother afterwards. The posted analysis lists the spring-type indications for simple thermal water — autonomic nervous system instability, insomnia and depressed mood — alongside the standard bathing indications for stiff muscles and joints and for fatigue recovery.
