Gunma offers mountain scenery, strong hot spring culture, and dramatic natural landscapes. The region feels active, spacious, and visually striking.
Here are some of the most memorable experiences.
Kusatsu Onsen Yubatake
The Yubatake is the visual centerpiece of Kusatsu Onsen.
Steaming hot spring water flows through wooden channels, creating a constantly shifting, almost surreal scene. The surrounding streets are filled with ryokan, shops, and foot baths.
Haruna Shrine
A historic shrine set deep in the mountains.
The approach passes through dense forest and unusual rock formations. The atmosphere feels quiet, cool, and slightly mystical.
Fukiware Falls
A wide waterfall carved into a dramatic rock landscape.
Often compared to Niagara, the water spreads across a large, V-shaped formation. The walking paths allow close views of the flowing water.
Tanigawadake Ropeway
A scenic ride into Gunma’s mountain scenery.
The ropeway reveals expansive views of peaks and valleys. Seasonal changes, especially autumn colors, dramatically reshape the landscape.
