Gero Onsen

We visited Gero Onsen Gassho- Mura during our stay in Gero. We had a great time there. We visited during weekday and was busy but not crowded and there a lot of photo opportunities spots, yummy restaurants ( one near the entrance has very tasty food and staffs are friendly and the one on the higher ground is mainly specialising in dessert 🍮 and coffee) and fun filled slide ride with fee 100 yen each ride, informative museum. They also have a pond with all the beautiful and friendly fishes - where u can buy the fish food to feed them. The other attraction is the unique shaped traditional thatched-roof gassho-zukuri houses from Shirakawa-go and Gokayama. There is entry fee for 800 yen for adults and 400 for children plus of you want foot hot spring - extra 100 yen I think. Overall we had a great time and highly recommended.

A very beautiful place. The location is small, but if you were staying at a nearby hotel, it's worth a visit. I think this should be considered an alternative to Sirakawa-go. There's an onsen for your feet on the premises.

Absolutely breathtaking views. The garden is small, but everything is decorated in much detail. The fishpond under the sunlight is particularly beautiful! Hopefully I can come back in the fall to see the autumn leaves!

It isn’t very large, but it’s also not overly crowded, which made the experience especially enjoyable. The journey here is just as beautiful.

Icon of Shirakawago but moved here when the government was building a dam and the huts were in danger of being flooded. Huts are well-preserved with many interesting exhibits in the houses. Worth the 20 min climb from the train station or you can take the 100 yen bus. Quite a big place to explore so plan for at least an hour here.
