The place has nothing to offer except the Onsen, but again, this is not the only hotel that has Onsen. You can't dip in the Onsen the whole day, you need activities to support your stay. This Onsen offers none of it.
Gero is a small lovely village! There's nothing much to do for the active tourist but I'm sure nobody minds to take time out for few days to enjoy the public onsens and the beautiful temples and mountains. Food is excellent and Gero is quiet, but it is too quiet to stay for more than 2-days. After Gero, go to Takayama which is rather near - village which is famous for its festivals and extraordinary architecture ;)
Great food and great Onsen, it was the highlight of our 17 day Japan trip. The onsen water is especially good for skins as it improved my daughters eczema dramatically !! We will have to try and replicate the magic water at home somehow !!!
Cherry blossom along the river was real pleasure to walk along. Gassho museum was interesting, I wish I could spend more time there. Gero has other hot springs as well, I was able to visit one close to the hotel. Overall, feels like a pleasant little town to spend a couple of days, though I would probably choose nearby Okuhida over Gero next time.
The ride north to Gero just primes you for a special time there, beautiful scenes one after another along clear river waterways, mountains, small village farms,and forests. And, we have to mention Mutsumikan Onsen with its tastefully designed with local and traditional Japaneses decor and welcoming lobby/lounge/bar area. For us, it was the just the beginning of a wonderful stay in Gero. From their gender separated hot mineral bath combination of large indoor o-furo bath and beautifully landscaped and lighted outdoor pool; well executed and delicious dinners featuring the region's Hida beef and port specialties; as well tasty Japanese breakfasts; roomy and well appointed rooms outfitted Japanese style comfortably with futon bedding on tatami mat; sweet, fairly priced gift shop; and incredibly kind staff who go out of their way to answer questions and meet your needs -- a truly special place to stay. Not to be missed as well, they are a five minute walk from the train station (and yet surprised to find how quiet it was) and away from the main part of Gero which we found a bit touristy and crowded Also, a very fairly priced accommodation. The Gassho Village in Gero is well done, without being kitschy, featuring thatched roof homes transported from Shirakawa-go was interesting, featuring decor and items from long ago Japan village life and a short bus ride from the onsen inns part of Gero. We found Hida Takayama, a short train ride from Gero interesting, especially on the east side where you can see the the old buildings more clearly as it is less developed by tourist shops. The daily outdoor farmers' market is also fun to browse, purchase snacks and small gifts and is charmingly situated along the picturesque river. You can also view the well preserved floats that are paraded at least yearly and which Hida Takayama is famous for as well.
“The onsen is spectacular. Many pools of onsen in there. The room is spacious and fully equipped. The store at the lobby has many local souvenirs that you don't need to buy from anywhere else. The location is great. It's near the old town. Free shuttle bus from and to Gero station is on time. The breakfast is delicious.”
“The service from the staff was top notch - honestly, the highest quality I've ever experienced after years of traveling in Japan (which I stay for months at times.) The food was prepared with heart and presented like an art piece. Attached Onsen was great as well. The room was very artistic too. Will definitely come back again!”
“Location, 2 minutes walk from Gero Station. Staff was very helpful and nice.”
“Very helpful and friendly owner and staff. Made us feel welcome and provided us with useful brochure for places of interest on Gero.”
“A hotel with history and beautiful public open air onsen.”
