A gentle alkaline simple thermal spring, drilled in June 1990 beside the Maze River in Gero, Gifu. At pH 9.72 it is strongly alkaline, and with only 208 mg/kg of dissolved solids the water is lightly mineralized — the combination gives the slippery, soap-like feel that places it in Japan's beauty-water family, a claim the facility's own panel repeats. The certificate documents the water for neuralgia, muscle and joint pain, cold sensitivity and fatigue recovery. The source feeds fifteen different baths here, among them an open-air bath set above the river and its greenery.

About

Mikinosato is a 26-room ryokan on a hillside above the Mase River, about half an hour by car from the crowds of Gero Onsen. Its day-use bathing wing is built around a soft spring water said to leave skin feeling smooth, spread across more than a dozen tubs and stations: a deep soak, a bubble bath aimed at lower back pain, a reclining bath, a lukewarm pool, a waterfall-style massage bath, a hinoki-lined steam box, and both a mist and a dry sauna. The outdoor bath looks over the Mase mountains, with a sky full of stars on clear nights. The village of Mase itself, known for river ayu fishing in summer, is one of the official 'Most Beautiful Villages of Japan'.

869. Mikinosato, Mazenishimura, Gifu ★ I went for a day visit for 900. The day-visit hours are listed as 10:30 to 21:30. They were stamping the Goyuin Meguri Gifu 2025-2026 stamp. For the onsen, there is an electronic Toreco card, but they also give you a physical card. The bath photos from the internet matched. 1. Indoor area. It was comfortable to breathe inside. From right to left, the baths are: 1.1. Rectangular bath. The water is clear, with a soapy feel. Temperature 38. 1.2. Deep bath with a wooden frame. The water is clear, temperature 42. 1.3. Lie-down area. The water is clear, temperature 38. 1.4. Utaseyu on benches for two. 1.5. Four steam cabinets. 1.6. Foot bath. 1.7. Utaseyu while sitting on stones. 4 in total, but 2 were blocked. The stream is weak. 1.8. Large bath. Three jets on each side, a bubble area, but it was not running. The water is clear, temperature 39.5. 1.9. Sauna. 1.10. Steam sauna. 1.11. Cold bath. 2. Outdoor area. It feels unusual, since all three facilities are just placed on the grounds and are separate from each other. 2.1. Semi-circular bath on the right. Mountain view. The water is clear, temperature 41. 2.2. Small building with a sauna, but nothing inside was working. 2.3. Round well-like bath. The water is clear, temperature 33. A memorable place, with lots of different baths. Worth keeping in mind if you are passing nearby. 12.03.2026
