Kusatsu Onsen in Gunma, Arima Onsen in Hyogo, and Gero Onsen in Gero City, Gifu Prefecture are famous hot springs that are known as the "Three Most Famous Hot Springs of Japan."Gero Onsen has been ranked second in the "Top 100 Hot Springs of Japan" for three consecutive years, and is one of Japan's leading hot spring areas, recommended by travel agency professionals.
A hot spring that is smooth to the touch and popular with women (Suimeikan)
The spring quality is simple spring water (simple alkaline spring water), which is effective for rheumatism, recovery from illness and fatigue, neurosis, etc. The smooth texture of the water is also effective for beauty and health, so it is a hot spring that anyone aiming for "beautiful skin" should visit at least once.
In addition to enjoying the outdoor baths at the three public baths, there are also eight free foot baths, making it an attractive option for those wanting to take a quick dip in the middle of a stroll. If you purchase a "Yumeguri Tegata" (a pass to visit hot springs), you can bathe at three baths, making it the perfect memento of your trip or as a souvenir.

The hot spring town is also a popular food spot. If you stroll around JR Gero Station, delicious temptations await you. Popular treats include "Sukiyaki croquette" made with Hida beef, "Ontama Soft Serve" with soft serve ice cream topped with a hot spring egg, and recently "Gero Pudding" made with local Gero milk, with a smooth texture that is sure to become addictive.
Speaking of Gifu, wild boar and deer meat dishes have become a popular local delicacy in recent years. In Gero Onsen, Suimeikan is a registered Gifu Gibier Suimeikan, certified by the prefecture, and serves delicious wild game dishes.

There are plenty of activities to enjoy in the natural surroundings around the hot spring town.
Exhilarating shower climbing
Why not escape the scorching heat by changing into a wetsuit and going on a tour of the Kosaka Falls, where you can enjoy shower climbing, or by trying kayaking or SUP on Lake Kinzan in Tosenkyo?
There is also a yukata dressing class. Check out the yukata and take a stroll around the hot spring town.
We also recommend the Kurort Health Walking. Kurort means "health resort" in German, and in Germany, the exercise therapy performed at Kurorts is so widespread that it is covered by medical insurance. The Gero version of Kurort Health Walking has two courses, the Gero Onsen Gassho Village Course and the Shibi no Mori Course, and you walk the 2.5km course with a professional guide while your heart rate, blood pressure, and body surface temperature are measured.
This initiative won the top prize at the Taiyo Life Kurort Healthy Walking Awards 2022. After walking, you can soak in the hot springs to refresh both your body and mind.
