GERO ONSEN: Japanese Ryokan, Kaiseki Cuisine, and Onsen Baths

Gero Onsen (下呂温泉) is a quiet hot springs town located in the Japanese Alps. During the Edo period, the poet Hayashi Razan called Gero one of Japan’s three best onsen. More than a million visitors come to Gero every year, and it is still rated as one of the best hot spring resorts in Japan. Gero is located between Nagoya and Takayama. It’s only about an hour south of Takayama and is worth stopping for a night or two if you attend the Takayama Festival.

We stayed at a large ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) called Yunoshimakan.

The food and service were outstanding. The facilities are a bit dated and could use some work. All in all, however, we really enjoyed our stay.

The public onsen baths are massive there, and I had the outdoor bath all to myself early in the morning. It was amazing. The Old Man was kicked out of the public bath because of his sweet 90s tattoo, but we had a private bath with our room. There are also larger private baths for families (or those with tattoos) within the resort.
