Gero Onsen Yunoshimakan, with Mt. Yunoshima, known as Gero Fuji, in the background, exudes a calm and serene
atmosphere.
Built in 1931 on a site of more than 50,000 tsubo (approximately 1.5 acres), it is a luxurious and elegant
sukiya-style building that still evokes the romance of the early Showa period, even after the passing of the
century.
Here we introduce the charm of Yunoshimakan.
