[2025 Gero Stay] Travel Guide for Bosenkan (Updated May)

Gero, located south of Hida Takayama and in the center of Gifu Prefecture, is rich in natural resources, and Gero Onsen is one of the three most famous hot springs in Japan. Because of its location, there are many activities to do in Gero, such as visiting the Gassho Village in Gero Onsen, exploring the forest, or visiting waterfalls, so it is recommended that everyone stay in Gero for a night. This time we chose to stay at the Wangchuan Hotel. 📍 190-1 Yunoshima, Gero City, Gifu Prefecture 🚈 Take the JR Takayama Main Line, about 1 hour and 40 minutes and 60 minutes from Nagoya or Gifu 🏘 There are 9 different rooms to choose from, and the most expensive one can enjoy a private open-air hot spring bath in the room ♨️ The water quality of Gero Onsen is weakly alkaline and is called "Beauty Hot Spring". It has the effects of restoring fatigue, relieving rheumatism, recovering from illness and beauty. The hotel has separate bathing areas for men and women, and private bathhouses can also be rented. There is also a foot bath in the garden where you can soak your feet while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Hida mountains. 🍱 Japanese food is provided, and you can enjoy Hida beef for an extra fee "Bochuankan" is not a highly rated hotel, but there are many things to do in Gero City, such as strolling around Gero Onsen Street and taking a free foot bath; visiting "Kaeru Shrine (Frog Shrine)"; or visiting Gero's Konaga Village, so you don't have to spend too much on the hotel, and the hotel's open-air hot spring is also very comfortable, and the food is also good. It can be said to be a hotel with a very high cost performance. #Overseas Travel #Japan #Gifu #Gero #Countryside Series #Hot Springs #One Night Two Meals #See the Earth in an Instant #Gassho Village #japan

The mesmerizing beauty of autumn leaves in Gero is like a dream come true. During the foliage season, the mountains are painted in vibrant colors, resembling a stunning oil painting. Relaxing hot springs offer a rejuvenating experience, perfect for unwinding after a tiring journey. The streets of Gero exude a charming, rustic vibe, inviting you to stroll around and soak in the local culture. Of course, the food is not to be missed. From ramen to fried chicken, every dish has its unique flavor. In short, Gero is a place where you can immerse yourself in pure bliss.

One of the three famous hot springs in Japan: Gero Onsen. Among the many choices, we chose the Wangchuan Pavilion, because it is old enough, historical and traditional enough! Regardless of the room decoration, the decorative furnishings have the pace of the times ~ What I like most is the friendly service of the staff, a simple pot of ice water, a pot of hot tea, has witnessed the lack of hospitality in modern hotels! This trip to Nagoya, a total of 5 nights in different hotels, the new hotel is new is modern, but not even bottled water is provided, so that travelers in the hurried journey have to go to fetch water (buy water)

#FuriTabi #GeroOnsen #HotSpring Since the Edo period, Gero Onsen has been one of Japan's top three hot springs, alongside Arima and Kusatsu. Its clear, colorless, fine spring water is also excellent for beautifying the skin. In addition to the open-air bath, the Bokakukan offers a variety of baths, including guest rooms with open-air baths and foot baths. 190-1 Yunoshima, Gero City, Gifu Prefecture

We arranged a one night stay and two meals at the Gero Japanese-style hot spring hotel, so the itinerary for this day was not very tight. We went there after visiting Gifu Castle in the morning... We reserved plenty of time to enjoy the hotel facilities and dinner... They have a fixed dinner time so we made an appointment with them to arrive at 6:00... The only downside was that after dinner, the Gero Onsen shopping street was closed... The remaining sporadic stores were open... We booked a room with an open-air bath, which also had its own bathroom facilities, which is a good choice for those who don't like public baths. The dinner was Hida beef cuisine which was pretty good!
