Browse Hotels in Gero →Gero, a tranquil Japanese town nestled in the Hida Mountains, is unmissable for its serene atmosphere and rich hot spring culture. The city's crowning jewel is the Kusatsu Onsen, a natural hot spring with crystal-clear waters that have been cherished for centuries. Travellers rave about the 'hokosaka,' a traditional hot spring bathhouse where locals and visitors alike gather to soak and unwind. Best time to visit Gero is during spring (April to May) when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and autumn (September to November) when the maple leaves turn vibrant shades of orange and red. For first-timers, consider purchasing a Gero Kowakien hot spring pass, which grants access to multiple bathhouses and onsen, allowing you to experience the best of Gero's natural hot spring offerings.
