city in Gifu prefecture, Japan

About Gero

One of Japan'sThree Famous Springs(日本三名泉Nihon Sanmeisen) — not to be confused with Japan's Three Great Springs and several other competing variants — the town's hot springs made their first appearance in print in the Engi Era (901-923). While there are many concrete hotels, the hot spring town has a retro atmosphere and to this day, it continually ranks among the top onsen in the nation year after year in numerous hot spring ranking websites and publications. The scenery in the valley is quite picturesque, particularly in autumn. Gero's smalltourist office, next to the station, can help you book if you arrive with no reservation.
