Gero attractions
There are nice mountain views on the way in to Gero, a few distinctly ordinary temples, and one attraction:
Gassho Village (合掌村 Gasshō-mura). A traditional-style village with thatched-roof gasshō-zukuri (hands in prayer) houses. At least one house is authentic, having been constructed in the mid-1800s, and later relocated here to escape being submerged behind a dam. You can paint pottery and make paper yourself, and they will mail your handiwork back to you for an additional fee. There are displays of traditional festivals, and a museum of guardian-dog statues (狛犬) used at shrines. Admission is �800. To get there from the station, take a 5 minute/�150 bus ride (buses run about once per hour), taxi for the base fare, about �650, or walk, about 20 minutes.
