[2025 Gero Stay] Travel Guide for Suimeikan (Updated Mar)

#July Travel Support Event Introducing Gero-Suimeikan, located 2 hours from Nagoya! This is a traditional ryokan that is one of the oldest in Japan. In addition to the large main bath, you can enjoy an open-air bath and a panoramic bath, and you can also use the hot spring water in the bathtub of each guest room. There is also a private bath for a fee for those who want to enjoy the hot spring with their family. I personally used the Hinoki bath and it was so satisfying! There are also various auxiliary facilities such as a cafe, Chinese restaurant, bar, karaoke, and a store, and if you look at the ducks and carp in the large garden and pond, it is not enough to spend a day there. It is also fun to look around the cafes and stores that commercialize the frog character, the symbol of Gero Onsen! The only regret is that the surrounding stores tend to close early, so I recommend going around the neighborhood early in the morning. I also recommend the souvenirs sold at the store inside Suimeikan. Among them, the most recommended is the bath salts that you can use to enjoy the hot spring water even after returning home! - It's a 5-minute walk from Gero Station. You can take the train from Nagoya Station to Gero Station, but if that's too much of a hassle, try taking the shuttle bus for a round trip of 4,500 yen! - I recommend ordering breakfast for meals, and I also recommend using a nearby restaurant for lunch and dinner. There aren't many around, but there are delicious restaurants, such as Nagoya's famous eel rice bowl and a highly rated tempura soba restaurant. - (Koreans only) There are Korean staff, so if you have trouble communicating, you can ask for help.

#Japanese Hotel This is one of the stops on the Central Japan trip ~ Gero Onsen This time I stayed at Suimeikan Although we live in a firewood house, the price is not cheap. Maybe it's the peak season. The room is not too big (smaller than expected 🤣🤣) And they are all quite old, probably because I picked a cheap house 😅 But the surrounding environment is very good The hot spring is also comfortable Breakfast is also delicious After leaving, we walked around Comfortable and happy

🗺️Overview of the destination 📍Things to know before traveling: The weather is not as scary as the strong wind. Rent a car, must have snow tires. 👉Day 1: 🧭Travel route (BKK-Nagoya) may be a curse on the big Buddhist holy day. The 2-hour delay made the plan go wrong. Try to find a way to sit in a corel in the trip for 1 place. Another one got from the first credit card points. Arrived, bought a train, sat for 30 minutes. Got off the station, it was raining and windy. For this trip, I chose to drive because I was considerate of my child's noise and disturbing others. The first night, Metsui had 7 big ones. There were no fish eggs in every branch. My child liked it very much. The accommodation has a public hot spring to relieve some heat. 👉Day 2: 🧭Travel route (Nagoya > Gero Onsen) ✈️How to get there You can take the train. But this time, renting a Toyota car was more difficult. They let you download WhatsApp to contact us. It just so happened that we used e-sim, so we didn't have a phone number. 🏖️Must-visit attractions Gero is a small town. If you come in other seasons, walking around the town is fun. But the day I went, it was windy and there was snow. I couldn't stand the cold, so I went to the onsen at the hotel. 🥘 Delicious food, Gero custard 👉Day 3: 🧭Travel route (Gero-haruya onsen) From here, it will be difficult. The most convenient and fastest way is to take a car. If you take the train, you have to take a bus in Takayama city. 🏖️Must-visit attractions, Ice Cave and Sakafi Field 🏠Accommodation Haruya area has a lot of accommodations, good service, beautiful view 👉Day 4: 🧭Travel route (back to Nagoya) It was a long drive. Before returning the car, I found a gas station to fill up. This time, no cards were accepted. I put cash in and took the slip to scan for change. Take the slip to confirm with the car rental. It's exciting. Return at 4:00 PM. It's hard to eat. I recommend walking to a luxury mall. It's more convenient. 🥘 Delicious food, eel rice 🏠 Accommodation Mitsui Garden Hotel Nagoya Premier. Breakfast has eel rice and salmon. Just the right amount of filling. 👉Day 5: On the way back, go straight to the train station. Sit for a long time until you reach the airport. The difficulty is the very long line. 💡Tips: This time in Japan, I used cash more than the money I loaded on the card. The service is more welcoming to Thais. 10 baht is more.

#japantrip "Suimeikan is an outstanding ryokan that blends tradition with luxury. Located near the Hida River in Gero Onsen, the hotel offers stunning views of the Japanese Alps. The rooms were spacious and impeccably clean, with a choice of traditional tatami or modern styles. The three hot spring baths were a highlight, each offering a unique and serene experience. The hotel’s restaurants served incredible kaiseki meals with seasonal flavors and local specialties. The staff were professional and attentive, making the stay truly enjoyable. Suimeikan is an excellent choice for travelers seeking comfort, relaxation, and authentic Japanese hospitality."

It only takes about 2 hours by car from downtown Nagoya to Gero Onsen. If you are preparing to visit Nagoya, I highly recommend booking at least 2 days and 1 night for Gero Onsen, one of the three famous springs in Japan! ! ! Room🏨 This time I chose to stay in the Japanese-style room of Suimeikan Rinkawa Pavilion. In addition to the main activity area of ​​the tatami, there is also a sofa area and balcony, which is full of space! Hot spring ♨️ The hotel has a total of 3 large baths, the largest bath made of cypress, the open-air hot spring and the overlooking bath. Of course! If you are inconvenient to reach a large bath or want some privacy as a family, you can rent a separate soup house, JPY3300/60 minutes Cooking🍱 This time I booked the plan to enjoy Japanese cuisine in the room, taste the Japanese cuisine carefully selected by the chef's soup and seasonal ingredients, and you can also taste the Hida beef set, which is exquisite and delicious😋 It is worthy of being one of the three famous springs in Japan. I will definitely come to Gero Onsen again😆 #OverseasTravel #JapanTravel #Onsen #Gero Onsen #Suimingkan
