The hotel's private and public onsens were amazing! The hotel was not crowded; we would often be the only ones in the public onsens. The breakfast was outstanding. We were amazed at how much effort it took to prepare the food. The presentation and taste of the meal were outstanding! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Gero. You won't want to leave this property and the pampering of the staff!"
