Top GERO ONSEN Hotels & Ryokans for 2024 and Beyond [For Budget & Luxury Travelers]

Please read below before booking:
Gero Onsen is an onsen town in the Gifu prefecture of Japan. The town is frequently ranked as the best Onsen towns because of the serenity of the nature and the quality of hot springs. It is recommended to spend a night there to fully appreciate the experience.
Things You Should Know
1. Booking a room with breakfast is highly recommended. Although Gero Onsen has many restaurants. Most are not open in the morning, leaving you with very few options, which are far worse than the Ryokan's excellent breakfast.
2. If you want an authentic Ryokan experience, always book a dinner with your accommodation. Dinner is a highlight of every stay in a Ryokan, and the chef would always use the best local ingredients.
3. Based on my experience, rooms with futons are not recommended for the elderly or people with mobility issues. Always book rooms with western beds for them.
4. Unfortunately, people with tattoos are not allowed to use most public onsens. However, you may ask the staff whether you can get in after covering your tattoo with seals or stickers (available in convenience stores.) Still, this is not guaranteed.
This does not mean that you cannot have an onsen experience in Japan. You will need to book a room with in-room onsen or rent a private onsen at your Ryokan. The latter could cost 2000-4000 Yen for 40-50 minutes.
