Local Tips
Wear easy-to-remove footwear as you'll often need to take off your shoes in ryokans and public baths. English is limited, so a translation app may help.
Cultural Etiquette
No tipping in Japan. Always wash thoroughly before entering communal baths. Polite, modest dress recommended, especially in shrines and traditional inns.
Safety Warnings
Gero is very safe, but take care when walking near rivers at night or after heavy rain as currents can be strong; watch your step on steep, narrow paths.

Fukuhara-jinja Shrine for peaceful walks, the Gassho-mura open-air museum, and secluded riverside rotenburo (open-air baths) away from busy crowds.
