Frequently asked questions
About Gero
Gero is a picturesque town located in the Gifu Prefecture of Japan, known for its hot springs and traditional ryokan inns. The currency used in Gero is the Japanese Yen. The town is nestled in the Japanese Alps, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and forests. Gero is famous for its onsens, natural hot springs that are believed to have healing properties. Visitors can also explore the historic streets lined with traditional wooden buildings.
When to visit
The best time to visit Gero is during the spring and autumn seasons when the weather is mild and the cherry blossoms or fall foliage are in full bloom. Summer can be hot and humid, while winter can bring heavy snowfall to the region. It is recommended to avoid the rainy season in June and July, as the weather can be unpredictable.
Getting around
Getting around Gero is easy with its well-connected public transportation system. Visitors can take a train to Gero Station and then use the local buses or taxis to reach their accommodations or explore the town. Walking and cycling are also popular ways to get around, allowing visitors to enjoy the scenic beauty of the area at a leisurely pace.
Traveller tips
When visiting Gero, remember to bring a towel and toiletries if you plan to visit the onsens, as these may not be provided. It is also customary to bathe naked in the onsens, so be prepared for this cultural experience. Make sure to try the local specialty, Hida beef, known for its marbled texture and rich flavor. Don't forget to explore the nearby attractions such as the Gero Onsen Gassho Village and the Gero Onsen Funsenchi outdoor bath.
