Hotel Yamaguchiya has two large baths and open-air baths, which are switched between men and women depending on the time!!! ⁡ The large baths introduced here are available for bathing from 15:00 to 20:00 for women only, and from 20:30 to 9:30 the next morning🙆‍♀️ ⁡ Considering dinner time, you need to check in early and take a bath!!! ⁡ I arrived around 16:30, so I quickly took a bath and then went into the hot springs while looking at the autumn leaves!!! ⁡ The temperature was a little hot, probably about 43 degrees, so I couldn't take a long bath in the indoor bath, but the open-air bath was a little warmer, so I was able to take my time🫠 ⁡ The fifth photo shows the autumn leaves as seen from the open-air bath, and the colors look clearer and more beautiful with the naked eye🍁 ⁡ Facial cleanser was provided, but lotion was not provided, so I recommend that you remember to bring it with you! #Hot springs #Hot spring trip #Hot spring inn #Gunma #Gunma tourism #gunma

This is the hot spring inn where I stayed when I hiked Mt. Myogi last November!!! I'm sorry that I'm only now introducing a lodge with autumn leaves because of the time difference...🥹 ⁡ ✔️Recommended points ⚫︎You can use the hot spring all night from 3:00 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. the next morning♨️ ※The large bath is on a rotation system for men and women, so you can't use it for about 30 minutes during that time, but you can use it all the time otherwise!!! ⚫︎The autumn leaves seen from the open-air bath are beautiful🍁 ※It's probably beautiful in the season of new green leaves too!!! ⚫︎You can stay at a relatively reasonable price even on weekends. · 2 nights and 2 meals included, starting from 22,000 yen for 2 people (according to Jalan) ⚫︎The staff are friendly and easy to talk to🙋‍♂️ · Other inns are also friendly and polite, but this one had a homey, friendly feel!!! ⁡ ✔️Points to note ⚫︎The room seemed to get cold easily👀 It was November, so we had to use a fan heater instead of an air conditioner to keep warm, and we only had a duvet, so it was a little cold when we went to sleep. · It was the time of year when autumn turned to winter, so it might have just been a coincidence...!!! ⁡ Other than the above, there were no issues at all. I was very satisfied because I was able to stay for 15,000 yen per person during the autumn leaves season and on a weekend. 🫠 ⁡ · ----- 📍Access 🚗About 2 hours from Tokyo or 🚄Joetsu Shinkansen Tokyo to Jomo-Kogen Station 1 hour 5 minutes 🚌Kanetsu Kotsu Bus Jomo-Kogen Station to Ohara Oigami entrance about 1 hour 👣About 20 minutes walk from the bus stop ⁡ 🕰Business hours Check-in 15:00-18:00 Check-out ~10:00 ⁡ ♨️Price ※2 nights and 2 meals included, from 22,000 yen for 2 people (according to Jalan) · ----- #Hot spring #Hot spring trip #Hot spring inn #Gunma #Gunma sightseeing #gunma #Autumn leaves

I went to Fukiwarenotaki Falls in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture. The waterfall is 7m high and 30m wide, and is also known as the Niagara Falls of the Orient. In addition to the main Fukiwarenotaki Falls, there are other sights to see, such as Masutobinotaki Falls and Hannya Rock, and you can feel the negative ions, making it perfect for a walk on a sunny day. #trip2023 #GunmaTourism

At Tanbara Lavender Park in Numata, Gunma Prefecture, you can enjoy beautiful purple lavender and colorful flowers during the summer season. The entrance fee is 1,000 yen, and you can also take a lift to the top for an additional 500 yen one way. You can walk to the top, but we also recommend taking the lift and enjoying an aerial walk through the lavender fields. 🌟 The lavender soft serve ice cream was also delicious, so please try it. ♬ #trip2023 #GunmaTourism #Lavender

Hello 😃 This time I went to Fukiware Falls in Gunma Prefecture ✨✨ My senior lives in Gunma and took me there! I saw a waterfall with a whirlpool in the middle of the river! The splashes and sounds were amazing and it was overwhelming! I also had some local beer and got drunk 🥴💥 I also had some apple ice cream! My senior, whom I met for the first time in a while, had lost a lot of weight but I'm glad he seems to be doing well! #breathtakingview #gourmettrip #gourmet #Gunmatourism #Tokyotourism #drive

#Fukiwarenotaki #Gunma #Numata I came to Fukiwarenotaki in Numata, Gunma Prefecture. The feature of this waterfall is not the volume of water or the height of the waterfall, but the gentle waterfall that can be seen from close up. As you can see in the photo, the drop is not so high, but the water still splashes quite a bit. Also, if you go a little further from the waterfall, you can see a magnificent river. I think the river is Katashina River, but if you know the river, please let me know in the comments. I rented a car from Jomo-Kogen Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen and visited the area. There are many parking lots nearby that say "this is the closest parking lot to the waterfall", which can be confusing, but you can get there quickly from any parking lot around the map, so there is no need to rush. This place also appeared in the opening of the taiga drama "Aoi Tokugawa Sandai". #Breathtakingview

I visited Tambara Lavender Park in early August, and the lavender was in full bloom, creating a spectacular sea of ​​purple flowers! What was particularly special was the dense fog that day. Although the clear mountain views in the distance were obscured, the rolling mist surrounding the flower fields created a dreamy and beautiful "fairyland" atmosphere, making for uniquely atmospheric photos. While I couldn't help but wish for clear skies, the mysterious beauty of the misty landscape was still unforgettable. I highly recommend visiting in summer to enjoy the flowers and take a stroll!

I visited Harada Farm in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, and experienced a truly therapeutic and fun peach-picking adventure! The orchard was exceptionally well-maintained, with peach trees laden with heavy, plump, pink peaches. The air was filled with a rich and elegant natural peach fragrance. Each person could pick two peaches themselves – a simple yet meaningful experience. The staff kindly guided us on how to select the ripest and sweetest large white peaches, and the moment we picked them was truly satisfying. The most delightful surprise was encountering a little frog resting on a pink peach in the pristine orchard – a cute and lively scene that perfectly showcased the unpolluted and high-quality growing environment. The peaches we picked were of extremely high quality, with delicate, juicy flesh and exceptional sweetness; every bite was bursting with fruity aroma and happiness. Whether you want to experience the joy of picking fruit yourself or soak up the natural atmosphere of the Japanese countryside, Harada Farm is definitely worth a special trip and a perfect destination for families or friends!

📝 Impressions Located in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, Fukiware Falls is one of Gunma's most iconic scenic spots, earning the nickname "The Niagara of the East." When I visited in person, its sheer power exceeded all expectations, and I was completely blown away by the majestic landscape carved out by nature. 🌊 A dynamic waterfall that looks like it's splitting the earth Standing about 7 meters tall and stretching 30 meters wide, the falls create a unique spectacle where water plunges into a massive crevice in the riverbed's bedrock. The roaring sound and misty spray are incredibly intense, leaving you absolutely mesmerized. One of the best parts is walking along the trails to admire the falls from multiple angles. 🌿 Stunning nature through all four seasons Fukiware Falls reveals different charms throughout the year, from fresh spring greens to vibrant autumn foliage and winter snowscapes. Autumn is particularly popular, drawing crowds who come to see the striking contrast between the colorful leaves and the cascading water. Just strolling through the area surrounds you with negative ions, leaving both mind and body fully refreshed. 🚶♀️ Explore the surrounding area You'll find souvenir shops and local eateries near the falls, making it a great spot for a leisurely walk. Additionally, ♨️ Oigami Onsen is just a 10-minute drive away. Soaking in the hot springs is the perfect way to unwind after a day of sightseeing. If you have time, I also highly recommend checking out places like the 🏯 Numata Castle Ruins. 🌟 Top Highlights ✔ Breathtaking views known as the "Niagara of the East" ✔ See the powerful falls up close from the walking trails ✔ Gorgeous scenery that changes with the seasons ✔ Packed with refreshing negative ions ✔ Close to hot springs and other attractions 📷 Best Photo Spots 📸 Panoramic view of Fukiware Falls 📸 The spectacular overlook from the observation deck 📸 Looking up at the falls from the trail 📸 The waterfall framed by autumn foliage 📸 The serene valley landscape 🌟 Summary 👉 "The scenery created by the roaring waterfall and the beautiful gorge is simply a masterpiece.

Venturing to the "Niagara of Japan" 🌊 The Magical Fukiware-no-Taki Waterfall in Gunma Prefecture! If you're a nature lover yearning for "pure, unfiltered nature" without the distraction of trendy cafes, this is the place for you. Fukiware-no-Taki is the most famous waterfall in Gunma Prefecture, earning the well-deserved nickname the "Niagara of Japan" or the Niagara of the East! ✨ A Marvel Carved by 10,000 Years of Time What makes this waterfall so special isn't its height—it's only 7 meters tall—but its impressive 30-meter width! Carved by the natural erosion of rock over 10,000 years, a massive V-shaped fissure was formed. Water from the flat riverbed cascades down into the crevice from multiple directions—some flowing straight, others swirling and crashing against the rocks before converging below. It's a wildly powerful and unique sight unlike any other waterfall in Japan, rightfully earning its designation as a National Natural Monument. 🍂 The Must-Visit Season While it's gorgeous year-round, the absolute peak time to visit is during autumn (mid to late October). The forests surrounding the valley ignite in vibrant shades of orange and red, striking a breathtaking contrast with the emerald waters. There are nature trails that allow you to admire the waterfall from various vantage points. Trust me, it's a photographer's dream! 🚌 How to Get There (Solo Travel Friendly) Getting here is much easier than you might think. Here are the routes we took: Route 1: From JR Numata Station (Joetsu Line), hop on a bus for about 40-45 minutes and get off at the Fukiware-no-taki stop. Route 2: From Jomo-Kogen Station, catch the Kan-etsu Transportation bus at bus stop No. 2 (bound for Oshimizu). It takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes; you'll also get off at the Fukiwarenotaki stop. I did this trip entirely solo and was absolutely blown away by the sheer magnitude of nature's power. If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and just listen to the sound of rushing water crashing against the rocks in Gunma, I guarantee it will fill your heart with joy!

Gunma Prefecture, home to Japan's largest collection of Tengu masks 👺 "Miroku-ji Temple, Ryugein Temple, Mount Kasha It's about a 40-minute drive up the mountain road from Numata Interchange. Be careful in winter, as the snow can get deep. 🚘 It's a quiet temple, but you can really feel the power of the mountain! When visiting Mount Kasha, it's customary to borrow a Tengu mask from Nakamine-do Temple and return home. The next time you visit, you can take the borrowed mask, and then purchase a new mask from the shop at the temple, present it to the temple, and then borrow another mask. I personally buy a new Tengu mask from the shop at the foot of the mountain every year before heading to the temple. (Note: There's only one shop.) It's also fun choosing your favorite 👺 from the many masks on display at Nakamine-do Temple. 😊 I also bring home a seed coin 💸 I display it with the 👺.

Visit the former Ukebata Family Residence located in Numata Park, Gunma Prefecture. This merchant house was built in the mid-Edo period (around the late 17th century). The Ukebata family traditionally dealt in medicines. Originally located in the downtown area of the city, it was relocated to Numata Park in 1973. Free parking is available at the park, but you will need to walk a short distance from the parking lot. Admission is 110 yen. The house is a two-story structure with a gabled roof covered in wooden shingles and stone weights. It measures slightly over 10 meters in width and just under 20 meters in depth, with an eave at the front. The front side served as a shop, and medicine cabinets still line the walls. Behind the shop are living spaces, including a tea room, dining room, study, and other rooms. The house is spacious with many rooms but has no windows. There are explanatory panels and displays of items used in the past throughout the house. Within the premises, there is also a museum exhibiting collections owned by the Ukebata family, including items from the first publicly elected mayor of Numata Town. Numata Park, where the residence is located, was built on the site of Numata Castle. The castle was abandoned following the abolition of the Numata Domain due to the dismissal of the Sanada clan in the late Edo period (late 17th century). Unfortunately, there are almost no remnants of the castle left.
