66. Yukai Resort Gero Saichoraku Bekkan, Gero Onsen Went with a tegata for higaeri (listed from 17 to 21 on weekdays only). The indoor zone is on the lower floor. It features two symmetrical rectangular baths. Water is clear, hot. I didn't notice any difference between the two. Around the baths there's small circular tile flooring — it's firm but very pleasant for massaging tired feet. There's also a sauna and a cold water barrel. Upstairs on the roof there's a nice outdoor bath with an "umbrella." Temperature is hot, water is clear. There's a view of a hill and several tall trees — in the evening darkness this creates a pleasant atmosphere. Recommended to visit the upper bath in the evening — it's pleasant on its own and the surroundings add to the enjoyment. The lower bath is a bonus if your feet are sore from walking.

CityAbout
A straightforward hot-spring hotel on a hillside above the Hida river in Gero, with plain rooms and a large indoor bath alongside a separate open-air bath set among trees. The spring water is often described as soft on the skin, sometimes called bijin-no-yu (美人の湯), or "beauty water." There's a sauna off the indoor bath, and meals are served buffet style, with breakfast and dinner included for overnight stays. The building has a lot of stairs and elevators between floors, and parking sits some distance away, reached by hotel shuttle.
