Onsen-ji

Onsen-ji is an ancient temple built on a high terrace overlooking the Gero hot spring, a temple that has truly walked alongside the famous hot spring waters. True to its name, it has long been cherished as the guardian deity of the hot spring locality, a special temple. From its grounds, the hot spring town of Gero can be seen at a glance, and since ancient times, hot spring visitors and travelers have come to pray for safe travels and the recovery from illness. Together with the blessings of the hot springs, it has long watched over the physical and spiritual healing of people, an indispensable sacred place for Gero hot spring.
