Gero Onsen Sweets: Enjoy Exquisite Desserts at Local Foot Baths

Enjoy Exquisite Desserts at Local Foot Baths

Come for the hot springs, stay for the sweets! Gero Onsen, one of Japan's top three hot spring resorts, is renowned for its smooth waters, said to beautify the skin.

Lately, Gero Onsen has also become a haven for dessert lovers, thanks to locally created sweets featuring pudding warmed in the hot spring water, onsen tamago (soft-boiled eggs cooked in the hot springs), and fresh local milk.

For instance, Gero Pudding offers a variety of colorful pudding desserts, each made in their own workshop with carefully selected ingredients like Gero milk and natural vanilla beans.

Also, at Yuamiya, a local shop, be sure to try the Ontama Soft Serve, the most popular item at the store. This new type of dessert combines onsen eggs made in Gero Onsen with rich, cold soft serve ice cream.

Gero Onsen boasts many other stores that offer truly unique sweet delights. Relax with foot baths and onsen hopping while strolling through the town, and stop by local shops to taste some of these exquisite desserts!
