As soon as you step out of Gero Station, you are greeted by fresh air and the scent of hot springs. There are many foot baths in the hot spring town, such as "Sagi no Ashiyu" and "Yasu no Ashiyu", which can be experienced for free. It is very pleasant to soak your feet while enjoying the street view.  At Yuami-ya, I tasted the signature "Yuami Soft Serve Ice Cream", which combines hot spring eggs with soft serve ice cream. The taste is unique and unforgettable. In addition, there is "Heart-warming Pudding", which is kept warm in buckets in the store and tastes sweeter and smoother.  We visited the "Gero Onsen Gassho Village", where many traditional Gassho-style buildings are gathered, making people feel like traveling through time and experiencing the ancient Japanese rural life.  Overall, Gero Onsen is a place that combines natural beauty, hot spring culture and delicious food. It is an excellent choice whether you want to relax your body and mind or experience traditional Japanese culture. #AprilGoodDestinations2025 #JapanTravel #JapanIn-depthTravel
