It’s perfect weather, by all means. Sunny, calm, as anybody can see, as any app online said. Yet the largest attraction (Kids Adventure) is closed, because the staff thinks it’s windy. There’s no...

Gunma Pref. Maebashishi Otemachi 3-16-3

Founded in 1954, the self-designated “most nostalgic park in Japan” is an amusement park located in Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture. The park runs fondly remembered rides of old, including a merry-go-round, a choo-choo train, and an airplane tower, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. The wooden horse stable runs five automated horse rides that are Registered Tangible Cultural Properties. Entrance is free. The large rides cost 50 yen, while the wooden horse rides, popular with local children, are 10 yen.

All the rides are cheap and are good for families with young kids as other reviewers indicated, probably good for around 5yrs old. Went there on a weekday, pretty much empty, spent around an hour and...

It is adjacent to a workshop for blown glass and stained glass, and to a restaurant that serves local beer.

This was one of my favorite stops on our tour. We stopped here for lunch and i tried the sampler of their own brewed beer (which was really good btw). After our quick lunch we were able to put...

This theme park is located in Kanai, Shibukawa City. You can enjoy a view of the Kanto Basin and surrounding mountains from the 50-meter-tall ferris wheel, and there’s also a rollercoaster, merry-go-round, the “Alaska Land Ice Hall” where you can experience minus 30-degree temperatures, and several other attractions.

他の方のレビューにもあるように、完全に子供向けです。今回は台風が来ている、という中行ったので、お盆時期にも関わらず最初はほぼ貸切状態でした。親子4人で行きましたが、二人は父と6歳息子はフリーパス、母と0歳息子は入場料のみで入ったのでコスパも良かったです。雨も止んで急に暑くなってきたら、氷の館が人気で「温度調整中」ということで入れなくなったのが残念でした。

とてもいい動物園だと思いました。高低差がある飼育施設なので、歩き甲斐があります。タイミングよくベンチや展望スペースがあります。行く前に桐生市の運営だと聞いていました。それはそうなんでしょうが、森産業が頭についていました。優良企業が背景にあるからできるのだと思います。知りませんでしたが桐生市内においては、有名な多角経営をされていて、分野では世界的な技術をお持ちの会社なんですね。だからほかの動物園とは...

Gunma Pref. Agatsumagunnakanojoumachi Iriyama 13-3

Located in Nakanojo Town, Agatsuma County, Gunma Prefecture, this park is famous as the birthplace of “chatsubomi-goke” —which is a type of moss that grows in acidic water. The contrast between puffed-up green moss on the rocks with the flowing water makes for a truly gorgeous scene. You can also enjoy some trekking along the pathway to Yoshigadaira Wetlands near the Anajigoku pit.

尻焼温泉に来たついでに、それほど興味もなく訪れました。受付で入場料を支払い、見どころとなる場所までは5分おきに運行しているバス(もしくはワゴン車)でピストン輸送してくれます。もちろん徒歩でも行くことは出来ます。園内のバスで到着した場所からは、多少坂を登って一番の見どころとなる場所まで歩いて行きますが、足元の悪さをカバーするためのマットが敷かれており、階段などを登るよりも楽に登れるかと思います...

There are also various events held in the auditorium and workshop rooms, and a restaurant and shop located inside the museum."

広々とした空間に幾何学的に壁や柱が配置されている、展示品も勿論ですが建物自体も興味深い構造になっている美術館です。建物自体が大きいだけでなく複数ある各展示室自体も広々としているため、常設展・企画展を合わせて鑑賞しても1時間は簡単に過ぎてしまいます。 1階と2階の2階構成となっており、1階で主に企画展、2階で常設展が展示されています。特に2階は展示室によっては広さだけでなく天井の高さもあり、特に天窓...

Gunma Pref. Otashi Yabudukachou 3318

This is the only research and exhibition facility in Japan which specializes in snakes. It is located approximately 10 minutes' walk from the Tobu Kiryu Line's Yabuzuka Station. Its main purpose is the research and uses of venomous snakes, and in the Venomous Snake Terrarium, visitors can see King Cobras, Rattlesnakes and other snakes from around the world. In the Orochi Terrarium, large snakes such as the yellow anaconda and alligator snapping turtles are on display. Viper venom extraction demonstrations are held on weekends and national holidays in the Antivenom Room.

In a remote-ish part of Gunma, the snake center is very interesting to visit. Foreign tourists will probably not want to visit, as it takes a while to get to, but its fun. Its a little old, but you...

This forest park is located at the western foot of Mt. Akagi between 600 and 700 meters above sea level. Visitors can enjoy the park's gorgeous natural beauty interwoven with Japan's rich, seasonal diversity, including plants in full bloom in spring, lush greenery in summer, spectacular foliage in fall, and the reverberating cries of wild birds in winter. Aiming to achieve harmony between human beings and nature, for more than 30 years the park has worked to create an environment in which plants can grow lush and vibrant and in which insects and animals can live with ease, and today visitors can catch sight of a wide variety of plants and insects living in a state very close to untouched nature. Walking paths are covered with comfortable to walk on bark chips; and benches, chairs, and restrooms made with timber from forest thinning are placed in key locations, making it easy for visitors to take a relaxing walk in the forest and see all kinds of plants and insects.

全部廻ると2時間、1万歩くらいかかるようです。ルートも一本道ではなく分岐しているので、自分の位置が直ぐ分からなくなります。なので案内図を忘れずに歩き始めましょう。良く整備されたハイキングコースというイメージです。気持ちの良い森の中、思う存分迷ってみましょう。

Gunma prefecture is synonymous with onsen. Natural hot spring water sources throughout the prefecture have given rise to a series of small onsen towns, each set among luscious mountains. At Kusatsu, Ikaho, and Minakami, traditional indoor and outdoor bathing experiences are served hand in hand with irresistible onsen-themed food, including steam-cooked eggs and custard pudding.
