In the Edo period, Gero Onsen was referred to as one of Japan’s three best onsen by the Confucian poet Hayashi Razan. While the town may now be quite a bit more urbanized than back then, the waters have retained that special quality, which has made them so famous.
Interestingly, the name Gero (lit. “lower bath”) is pronounced the same as the slang term for “vomit”. This hasn’t hurt its popularity among Japanese tourists, however, with more than one million visitors every year who continue to rate it as one of the best hot spring resorts in Japan.
