A Ryokan Retreat in Gero Onsen

Nestled in the charming town of Gero Onsen, Mutsumikan stands as a haven of serenity and indulgence. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its traditional Japanese charm and warm hospitality. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the gastronomic journey presented through the Kaiseki dinner. The exquisite spread showcased the culinary artistry of the Mutsumikan chefs, and the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the succulent Wagyu beef. As night fell, we made our way to the hot spring, anticipating a relaxing and rejuvenating soak. To our delight, we discovered that we were the only ones present, granting us the luxury of undisturbed privacy. The therapeutic waters worked their magic, melting away our stress and leaving us refreshed and invigorated. Staying at Mutsumikan in Gero Onsen was a truly unforgettable experience.

Gero Onsen (Part 2)

Maybe not quite used to sleeping on the floor, I didn't sleep very well last night. But the enchanting morning mist among the mountains of Gero easily wakes one up. A shallow, stone-filled river flows through the town. At the end of August, the river water is icy cold. Many people wade in the water, fish, and occasionally enjoy the hot spring water that emerges, sitting around stone stools for a foot bath. The mascot of Gero is a frog, and frog-related items can be seen everywhere here. Frog pudding, frog buns, manhole covers with frog designs, and even a frog shrine. Another pleasant sound in Gero is the JR train that passes over the creek from time to time, as if bidding farewell to departing travelers. Next stop, Takayama.

Exploring the Japanese Hot Spring Journey: Gero Onsen's Island Pavilion, enjoy the beauty of nature

Gero Onsen, as one of the 'Three Famous Springs' in Japan, its history can be traced back to the Edo period. Gero was also one of the old post stations at that time, and now there are about 50 hotels, inns, and island pavilions and other accommodation facilities, among which the Island Pavilion is undoubtedly the most attractive. This hot spring hotel with a history of more than 80 years has been listed as a tangible cultural property. The Island Pavilion is simply a god-like existence in my mind. Gero itself is a very charming city, hot springs and pine forests form the background of this hot spring hotel, the architecture, decoration, and service all make you feel like you are knocking on the door of nature, feeling the beauty of nature. The dinner and desserts are also very delicious, I know it would be rude to ask for another one, but I couldn't help but force my sister to go. She forced the waiter, they were embarrassed but had to maintain 100 points of politeness, which made this dessert our best memory. If you want to enjoy a perfect hot spring journey in Gero, I strongly recommend booking a room type with one night and two meals, although the price is slightly higher, but it is definitely worth it!

Retro-looking and tucked away in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, it's one of those hidden gems you can't help but fall in love with.

It's a haven where time slows down, stress floats away, and you can just be yourself.

Getting There - Attractions - Hotels - Food & Restaurants - Shopping - #nationalpark

On the last day of Nagoya, I went to Gero and spent the warmest afternoon. There is an open-air hot spring on the lower Lu River. When you are tired, you can take off your shoes and soak your feet. At the beginning of the whole pool, only two people and my family had a foot bath. Later, a pair of young Japanese couples took a pair of BBs to soak their feet. Mom rolled up the BB and let him put a little jio. Into the hot springs, BB giggles and laughs. Later, I came to a family. Mom and Dad pushed the wheelchair. The little boy was in a wheelchair. The calf was holding the bracket. There was no muscle on the leg. It should be a sequela of polio, and there was his sister next to him. Mom and Dad took care of the boy from the wheelchair and unloaded his leg support. The little boy's skinny legs slowly immersed in the hot springs, watching me see the smiling face on his face. Mom and Dad and their sister sit on the side of the boy and take out their mobile phones to take a family photo. Regardless of whether life gives us sugar or bitter medicine, family is a safe haven forever.

In the Shiro Onsen Temple in Japan, visit the Hongye Scenic Area Gero Hot Spring Street along Feiyuchuan. It takes only 10 minutes to walk from the hot spring street to the Hot Spring Temple, but you must visit the pharmacist Buddha and climb the 173 steps. It took a cemetery to reach the hot spring temple on the mountain. In Japan, because the ancestors will be blessed for generations, the cemetery is where the feng shui treasures are, and the burial ground next to the houses is quite normal. Walking into the gate of the Hot Spring Temple, facing the top of the main hall, it is the most lively maple leaf group in the most colorful color seen on this trip. At the front of the door, there is an inconspicuous stone Buddha statue, which is the pharmacist who has been legendized as an egret. It is said that in addition to blessing the local residents, the pharmacists in the hot spring temple can enjoy the endless hot springs, and the spring water can be used to treat some disease in a certain place. The soup pharmacist comes to the deity. Hot Spring Temple is built on the mountainside. It is small in size but quite a hole in the sky. There is a soup in the right hand in the gate, facing the main hall. In front of the Buddha, the foot of the maple is not colliding here, but it is very harmonious. Going around the hall, there is still a small inari shrine. The maple trees are quite old, and the branches are tall and lush, and a maple trail is built. Continue along the path and you will be able to reach the famous Yunoshima Onsen Hotel in Gero. 6 points before the night, Lu has been accompanied by autumn rain. At this time, the hot spring temple is brightly lit. Under the maple trees, the lights emitted by the high-wattage lights illuminate the night sky. Under the setting of the night, the color of the maple leaves is more dazzling than during the day.
