2025 Yoshioka Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)

The museum is based on the director's hobby, but the quality was so high that it was like Disney 🐭 There was so much that it took me more than an hour to see everything even though I hardly took any photos 😳 My favorite is the retro zone. I felt like I had traveled back in time to Showa era Japan. You can also play shooting games for a fee 🎯 There is a reproduction of the Fujiwara Tofu Shop from Initial D both inside and outside the museum. At the end, I played with coloring Kewpie dolls in a European-style food court (?) lol It was a very unique museum... . . . 📍Toys and Dolls Automobile Museum 🗺️Gunma, Japan 🕑Monday-Saturday 9:00-18:00/Sunday 9:00-17:00 💰¥1300 #FuriTabi #Museum #GunmaTourism

Ikaho Forest is a vast expanse of rolling green hills, boasting a rich variety of vegetation.

#0yentravelJanuary2025 I went to Chinese restaurant Ryuen, which is one of Tabelog's top 100 restaurants, in Yoshioka Town, Gunma Prefecture🍽️ It's located near the Yoshioka Bypass where you get off the highway to go to Ikaho Onsen🚗 The exterior is a simple local Chinese restaurant, but once you go inside, the beautiful interior is like a high-end Chinese restaurant✨ The chef greeted us at the entrance and guided us to our table🧑🏻🍳 Everything on the menu looked delicious, so it took me a while to choose🤣 First, I ordered white mapo tofu, dandan noodles, and dongpo pork. The first white mapo tofu was so delicious I was moved 🔥 The mapo tofu was piping hot and was a little spicier than it looked, with a light and exquisite taste 😍 The dandan noodles were very delicious as the noodles were mixed well with the soup, which was a little more sour than the sweetness of sesame 🍜 The Dongpo pork was also excellent! The pork was so soft that you could cut it with chopsticks 🥢 When eaten with pea sprouts, the fat was also refreshing. I still had room in my stomach, so I ordered additional xiaolongbao, dezato almond tofu, and tapioca milk. Needless to say, it was delicious 👏🏻 As an aside, the restrooms were also very spacious and clean! High points!! 🚽 I found a famous restaurant that I want to visit again🌟 📍Location: 3476-1 Okubo, Yoshioka-cho, Kitagunma-gun, Gunma Prefecture #wintertrip #foodtrip #Gunma #Gunmatourism

Introducing the Ikaho Toy and Doll Automobile Museum, a theme park in Gunma Prefecture. This theme park has so many things that you'll be surprised. The candy store alley, which recreates the streets of the Showa era, is very realistic and interesting. There is a classic car area that car lovers will love, which also has a huge number of cars. In addition, the area that recreates the world of the movie "Always Sunset on Third Street" displays the cars used in the film. The outdoor area with a life-size tank model is also very impressive.

I went to the Toy and Automobile Museum in Ikaho, Gunma Prefecture. I didn't expect there to be a lot of dolls, but this place was really amazing! ! I arrived about an hour before closing time, and thought that an hour would be plenty, but I wanted another two hours...😂 It was like traveling back in time to the Showa era with all the candy, signs, game consoles, and photos of old celebrities! There were so many different kinds of cars, it's a must-see for car lovers! There was also a movie exhibit, and an actual filming set! I was told that I could make my own Kewpie, but I didn't have enough time, so I gave up, crying. I'll try again next time! This is a spot that is sure to be a big hit with adults😌
