Yuamiya

This cozy little café shop sits by Shirasagi Bridge and the famed Chaplin statue of Gero Onsen. Step inside to find a footbath at the shop’s front that you can enjoy for free during business hours as an easy spot to kick back and enjoy a bite of tasty sweets.

Foodies in the know love this spot for its original sweets, infused with unique elements of the hot spring area. The most popular is the "Ontama Soft," offering a sumptuous blend of rich soft serve ice cream with a hot spring egg and brown rice flakes for a texture and taste like never before. The Honwaka Pudding, made with carefully selected milk and eggs, is warmed in a tub in front of the store, enhancing its sweetness and smoothness. Another favorite is the Gero Pudding Soft, an alamode of homemade pudding topped with soft serve ice cream and colorful amber sugar.

After enjoying sweets and the footbath there’s even a gift shop to explore. Swing by for a wide range of products, including Yuamiya's original cosmetics and sweets, Gero Onsen and Hida Takayama's traditional souvenirs, local crafts, and works by local artists.
