The source is a short guide to autumn colours in Gero Onsen. Its table of contents lists Onsenji Temple, where it says the foliage spreading beyond the stone steps is representative of the onsen town, and Gero-Onsen Gassho-mura. The title also points to Zenshoji Temple. The evidence does not give opening hours, access details or dates, so treat this as a pointer to places to look up rather than a full practical plan.
