About
Gero Onsen in Gifu Prefecture is ranked alongside Arima and Kusatsu as one of Japan's top three hot spring resorts — an unusual bicarbonate spring that is naturally odorless and colorless, with exceptional skin-smoothing properties that earned it the name bijin no yu (beautiful skin water). Suimeikan is Gero's landmark ryokan, a large traditional inn set amid forests above the Hida River, with panoramic mountain views from its multiple outdoor bath terraces. The hotel offers a range of room types from standard tatami to premium river-view suites, and kaiseki incorporating Hida beef (Gifu's prized Wagyu), local mountain river fish, and seasonal mountain vegetables from the surrounding Chubu Highland. An ideal add-on to the Takayama and Shirakawa-go circuit.
