Trip to Gero

I went to Gero before the Silver Week started (*^^*) Took the train to Gero Station. While waiting for the hotel's shuttle bus, it started pouring rain... Although there was a wait, I quietly sat on a station bench waiting for the bus. The shuttle bus arrived, and feeling a bit cramped with the bus full, we headed up the mountain road. I can't believe how amazing the driver is to navigate these roads... It said sightseeing was possible on foot, but even with good weather, I thought the steep slopes would make it tough to walk. The hotel was all-inclusive, so once checked in, I was free to roam (what a way to put it 🤣). There's a lobby with drinks and snacks available. The light meals change depending on the time. I had a Mont Blanc right after arriving. It was a cake where the chestnut cream was piped individually, making it even more special. After relaxing for a bit, I went to the buffet. During dinner, a staff member came around asking if we'd like a commemorative photo with a Sarubobo doll. They also came around to our table offering freshly baked apple pie, which made me happy, and it was truly delicious😋. In the open-air bath, I soaked while looking at the townscape of Gero. I also did some karaoke. To be continued👇
