    Gunma Pref. Annakashi Matsuidamachisakamoto
    This walkway starting near the Yokokawa Station in Annaka City, Gunma Prefecture, was once the track used by the Abt-type train as part of the former Shin-Etsu line. Visitors can enjoy hiking along the ruins of the railway that travelled along the Usui Pass, a difficult area for railroad transportation. The old brick construction en route is the Maruyama substation, registered as a National Important Cultural Asset. The path passes through five tunnels including Usui Toge no Mori Park Exchange Building, Toge no Yu, Usui First Tunnel, and then onto a grand bridge with four arches. While enjoying the view of Lake Usui seen from the Abt railroad, visitors can get a sense for the railway scene of the Meiji and Showa periods.

Gunma Areas

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.
