Recommended Accommodation in Gero Onsen: Suimeikan

Located in Gero Onsen, one of Japan's top three hot springs, Suimeikan offers a perfect blend of tradition and modernity, allowing guests to experience its unique charm. Suimeikan consists of four distinct buildings: "Rinsenkan," "Hisenkan," "Sansuikan," and "Seiranso." Each building features different styles of rooms to cater to diverse preferences. I stayed in a Japanese-style room, which was spacious and comfortable. The must-try package at this hot spring inn is the one-night stay with two meals. Dinner was French cuisine served within the hotel, exquisitely prepared, while breakfast was a set meal that was hearty and delicious. ♨️ On-site Large Bathhouses Suimeikan is renowned for its extensive hot spring facilities, featuring three large bathhouses spread across different buildings. Among them, the open-air hot spring in Sansuikan left a lasting impression, allowing me to soak while enjoying the natural surroundings—a truly delightful experience. Additionally, the indoor hot spring in Rinsenkan is available 24 hours a day, providing guests with the convenience to relax anytime. 🚄 Transportation Suimeikan boasts an extremely convenient location, just a 3-minute walk from JR Gero Station. For travelers taking the train, it takes approximately 1 hour and 28 minutes to reach Gero Station from Nagoya Station via the JR Takayama Main Line's Wide View Hida train. The inn also offers shuttle services from Gero Station to the hotel, making travel even more hassle-free.
