“With over 180 years etched into its foundations, this ryokan certainly wears its history; while some might find its age showing, the multilingual staff and shuttle service to JR Gero Train Station smooth out the edges, especially given its proximity to the town and train station.
For those seeking an authentic Japanese experience with hot spring baths and a taste of local culture via the Gero Museum and Gassho Village, it fits the bill. It seems a worthwhile base if your expectations are grounded.”
