A huge congratulations to Gifu’s hot-spring districts that made Japan’s Top 100 Hot Springs Ranking (Nippon no Onsen Hyaku-sen in Japanese).
Rankings were decided by several tourism-related organisations including the “Japan Ryokan & Hotel Association” and “Japan Onsen Association”, after first letting tourist-industry professionals all over the country vote for their top choices based on elements like hot spring water quality and atmosphere.
Presenting Gero Onsen – one of Japan’s top three hot spring destinations with plenty to offer from river fishing, forest bathing, waterfalls, and local produce. Also awarded one of the World’s Top 100 Most Sustainable Tourism Destinations in 2022.
