This designation \u2013 referring to the onsen of Gero, Arima, and Kusatsu &#8211; dates back to the 1500s in the writings of Zen monk and poet, Banri Shukyu, and later by the prominent 17th century scholar, Hayashi Razan. These three hot springs were praised for their historical and cultural value, as well as for the quality of the water and their healing properties. <\/p>\n<p>Gero Onsen is known for its high quality, alkaline waters, which leaves your skin feeling silky smooth after bathing. Hence, it is nicknamed the \u201cwater of beauties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the relaxing onsen, there is a lot to do around town. Some come along as we walk, eat, and SLIDE, our way through Gero Onsen!<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro<br \/>\n02:00 Suimeikan<br \/>\n02:56 Konbini dinner<br \/>\n05:24 Exploring the town<br \/>\n08:58 Onsen &#038; sushi!<br \/>\n10:15 Gero Onsen Gassho Village<br \/>\n16:10 Final thoughts<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- <\/p>\n<p>If you enjoyed this video, please help our little channel out by liking the video and Subscribing to our channel!
