【Gassho Village】A Must-See When Visiting Gero Onsen!

It's about a 15-minute walk from Gero Onsen to Gassho Village. Unlike Shirakawa-go, there is an admission fee of 1,000 yen (for adults), but it's worth it for the impressive sights. Inside the buildings, there are exhibits placed around, and the lifestyle of the past is preserved as it was. The footbath located in the center of Gassho Village is fantastic. It was very pleasant, especially in the cold of winter! Towels cost 200 yen, so if you're staying at a hot spring inn, it might be a good idea to bring the small towel you receive there!

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!

If it is cold, I want to warm up the body with a hot spring. I want to introduce a small hot spring spot to everyone! Garden deep | Enjoy the hot springs in the wind and roll winter Why not take a relaxing Japanese bathing trip, find a Japanese-style century-old shop with "taste", choose a hot spring bath The room in the pool, feel the sound of nature! (Gero Onsen, Yunoshima Museum)

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.
