Free hot spring below the Gero hot spring bridge

The Gero hot spring is a famous hot spring that can be said as one of the three major hot springs in Japan, besides the Arima hot spring and Kusatsu hot spring.

Here there is a popular hotel such as impressive old building of Yunoshimakan.

This time, I am not introducing the popular hotel in the hot spring street, but will introduce you the spot where you can enjoy the Gero hot spring at free of charge. 

The place is just beside the river that flows at the center of the Gero Street. 

It is such feeling to see from the bridge.
Is it bit shameful during the daytime?
I used to enter causally. 

The good point is that anyone and at any time can enter this place at free of charge.
The hot water is quite the same because the source of the hot spring for the hotel and this hot spring are the same. 
Do you think that the recommendation of bath in hot spring street at the night seeing the neon lamps as a pretty good atmosphere?

If you take a hotel at NAGOYA, it is about 1½ hours by the rental car.
Do you like to try?
