    原生林・自然林に囲まれた利根川最上流部にあるダムです。春は新緑・夏はリゾート気分でカヌー・ボート・キャンプなどが楽しめ、秋は美しく染める紅葉などが見られます。丸い建物は資料館とお茶をしたり軽食が食べられる展望台を兼ねていました。「ダムカレー」美味しそう!

    猿ヶ京温泉の入口あたりにあります。上毛高原駅-湯宿温泉経由のバスでも行けます。「関所跡」バス停を降りると目の前です。 当時の関所と役宅の跡地を利用して資料館化した施設です。時間の都合で中は見ていないのですが、通りかかったら茅葺屋根の建物だけでも見ておく価値はあると思います。

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.
