Gero Onsen Gasshō-mura

The museum grounds contain multiple traditional Gassho-style houses with distinctive steep thatched roofs transported from their original locations in Shirakawa-go region.

The museum complex opened in April 1963 to preserve and display traditional Japanese farmhouses that exemplify the architectural style of rural mountain communities.

Inside the relocated farmhouses, exhibitions showcase traditional crafts, farming tools, and household items that document the daily routines of Japanese mountain villagers.

Located 20 minutes on foot from JR Gero Station, the museum operates daily from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM with entry fees of 800 yen for adults.

Visitors can participate in hands-on cultural workshops including pottery painting, traditional papermaking, and other local craft activities throughout the museum complex.
