A substantial large public bath featuring abundant use of granite. The plentiful spring water of Gero Onsen has a smooth, silky texture that feels luxurious on the skin. The alkaline water is said to have a natural soap-like cleansing effect, leaving the skin moist and beautifully smooth after bathing. In the open-air bath, you can spend a soothing moment warming yourself deeply while feeling the pleasant air and the murmuring of nature.
A tiny two-person sauna room tucked away in the large public bath. Its gentle dry heat warms the whole body slowly, allowing you to work up a pleasant sweat. Thanks to the soft heat convection from the sauna stove, you can quietly close your eyes in a calm, private-feeling space and savor the time spent in the sauna itself. There is no cold plunge bath, so after cooling down with the cold shower at the washing area, you can tottonou during an open-air rest in the fresh air.
