Gunma's Must-See Attractions

Kusatsu Onsen is one of Japan's three most celebrated hot springs, boasting the nation's highest natural spring output. Yubatake, located at the heart of the hot spring town, is Kusatsu's symbol, with 4,000 liters of hot spring water gushing forth every minute.

Around Yubatake, you'll find Yuno-yu where you can watch traditional hot water demonstrations, free foot baths, and public bathhouses scattered throughout. The illuminated Yubatake creates a magical atmosphere, making evening strolls equally enchanting.

Tomioka Silk Mill is a government-operated silk factory established in 1872 and registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The brick buildings were constructed using a unique method called 'wooden-frame brick construction,' and they still stand firmly more than 150 years later.

Haruna Shrine is an ancient shrine in Takasaki City with a history of approximately 1,400 years. The shrine grounds, surrounded by towering giant rocks on both sides of the approach and deep forest, are known as a powerful power spot.

Fukiwari Falls is a 30-meter-wide, 7-meter-high waterfall located in Numata City, also known as the 'Niagara of the Orient.' Its distinctive feature is the unique way water cascades down as it gushes through cracks in the riverbed rocks.

A well-maintained walking path allows visitors to get right up close to the falls. The waterfall is particularly spectacular from spring through early summer when water volume is at its peak.
