An anniversary trip to an authentic hot spring Ryokan "Gero Onsen Yamagataya"
Table of Contents
Special set meal using local ingredients
After playing table tennis, it's finally time to eat.
You can enjoy kaiseki cuisine that uses plenty of ingredients carefully selected by the head chef, such as ingredients from Minami Hida and Gero, which are rich in nature, and fresh fish delivered directly from the market every day using a special car.
*Dishes are subject to change depending on the season and availability.
If you choose a couple plan, you can enjoy a relaxing meal in your room or in a private room. We stayed in a private room this time. Celebrate the anniversary and cheer up!
Each dish has a gentle flavor that shows the time and effort that went into it. Starting with an aperitif of plum wine, you can enjoy a variety of dishes such as appetizers, sashimi, grilled dishes, and tempura.
Enjoy the hot springs of beauty
The best thing about staying at an onsen ryokan is the hot spring.
The "alkaline simple hot spring" that is the spring quality of Gero Onsen is highly effective in exfoliating the skin, promoting the metabolism of dead skin cells and eliminating dullness, and is also noted as "Bijin-no-yu," a hot spring with high skin beautifying effects. It is clear and colorless, with a smooth texture and a slight scent of hot water.
The large public bath at Gero Onsen Yamagataya is open from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m., and you can enjoy the morning bath from 5:00 a.m. the next day, so you can enjoy the hot springs to your heart's content!
For couples, we recommend the private open-air bath.
Gero Onsen Yamagataya has two types of private open-air baths, "Hanamai" and "Hoshikago", along the Hida River. You can enjoy a slightly different atmosphere from the open-air bath in the guest room.

Usage fee: 1 time (45 minutes) 2,000 yen tax not included
Surprise with cake and bouquet
Why not a surprise in your room on your anniversary trip?
At Gero Onsen Yamagataya, you can order an anniversary cake, bouquet, sparkling wine, etc! They will make the arrangements for you, so you do not need to bring anything with you to the location.
It is quite difficult to prepare cakes and bouquets while traveling, so this is a great service. Of course, other plans are possible, so please consult with them first.
