Foreword: A sisters bonding trip to Japan and Korea before she embark on her studies. A 2 weeks grandeur trip brought us to many beautiful places in Western Japan and Korea. Autumn colored Japan in flaming red, yellow, orange and brown. The best trip ever and I wish to do this again!
Hectic schedule right from the start of our tour: A midnight flight on Vietnam air from Singapore to Incheon with layover in HCM -> Afternoon Jeju air flight to Nagoya -> 3h Train from Nagoya to Gero. But Gero was worth the arduous journey.
Welcome to Gero Onsen 下呂温泉 !
One of the 3 best onsens in Japan. There are public bathhouses and open-air footbaths where you can sit and relax for free and ward off the chill :)

It is a luxury to wake up to a hearty breakfast ! |

In an onsen town, you can walk around in yukata attire.
The 'click-clog' made with every steps transported me back to childhood... |
 |
| Our 3-bed ryokan. In Japan, you sleep on thick mattress known as futons. Quite comfortable! |
 |
| Our ryokan! Supposed to be one of the cheapest in the area. |
A quaint onsen town worth a night or two stay~
