What travelers are saying
- Eric LSacramento, CA43 contributionsThe blossoms came late in April this year, but even with only a quarter of the trees in bloom this was a wild party. If you like street food and live music, this was the place to be on a Thursday evening (I bet it was even better when the weekend came). Plenty of food and drink to choose from, game booths, souvenirs, old steam train for the kids to climb on, horse drawn carriage rides for romance, etc. And of course the mile-long walk under the arching cherry trees is beautiful.
It's a long walk from the shinkansen station, so take a taxi or find the ferry boat that will take you across the river for only 400 yen.Written April 26, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The map and guides are good for English speakers, but if you have some Japanese there are volunteer tour guides who will show you around.Written April 26, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JohnLeavenworth, KS1,300 contributionsI first visited Geto with my familly (three small chilldren) in 1990 and last visited by myself in November 2015. It is a traditional single inn hot spring where people can go to stay for a night or a few weeks with their families. It is closed during the winter because it lies at the end of a mountain road which is snowed in, closed from early November to early May. Pictures on trip advisor are accurate. There are five or so outdoor baths situated along the river. Most have separate changing areas for men and women, but the baths are communal. There is a set time for women only, and there is a bath that is full-time for women only. The main inn buillding serves meals. The other buildings, each with a seperate name, are cook for youself places with comunal kitchens and restrooms are one or two per floor, and not connected to the individual rooms. There is a small store with food you can buy to prepare for yourself. The kitchens are great places to socialize and learn how local people cook. No beds, but nice futons. There are public and free busses from Kitakami station to the spring. The free busses are twice a day and you can ride them into town to buy gorceries and then back out to the hot spring about an hour later. I only saw one other foreigner there, an eastern European woman traveling solo through Japan. Japanese is required for a full experience here.Written December 26, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Michael AHong Kong, China357 contributionsOff the beaten track but with good facilities and terrain, Geto Kogen is known for its powder dumps.
We didn’t get the legendary powder while we were here but the ski area is set up nicely, is very affordable, the food court meals are excellent and it even has dorm rooms and an Onsen on site.
Highly recommend.Written December 19, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
