  • Fukiware Waterfall
    Travel / Tourism
    Gunma Pref. Numatashi Tonemachiokkai
    This waterfall is located in Tonemachi-okkai, Numata City. It is referred to the “Niagara of the East” because of the way the river water falls majestically into the V-shaped valley. There’s a walkway around the waterfall along with natural sights such as “Masutobi Waterfall” and “Hannya (Wisdom) Rock” and the “Ukishima Kannon Hall.” In addition to being designated a Natural Monument and Place of Scenic Beauty, it has also been chosen as one of Japan’s 100 most beautiful waterfalls.

  • Urami Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Gunma Pref. Tonegunminakamimachi Fujiwara
    These falls are large cascades with a 50-meter drop located near Hotaka-jinja Shrine in Minakami Town, Tone County, Gunma Prefecture, and are also known as Horai-no-Taki Falls. Legend has it that Yamato Takeru-no-Mikoto prayed here for rain. Originally the falls were observed from behind, hence their name, but recently, due to the danger of rock falls, it is forbidden to take the path behind the falls. The view from the lookout nearby is spectacular and the water splashing as it flows into the basin is breathtaking. You can feel the minus ions around you.

  • Enmusubi Falls
    Travel / Tourism
    Gunma Pref. Tonegunminakamimachi Aimata
    This small waterfall is in the forest along the Akaya River, which flows through Sarugakyo Onsen. There is a small cave nearby and a shrine dedicated to Kannon. Legend says that long ago a young man whose wife left him went there to pray. He came across a young woman who had been let go from her husband's family. They became a couple and spent many happy years together. Today women and men visit in the hope of having the same kind of luck as the couple the legend. Near the shrine, there's a board for hanging votive plaques with prayers written on them.

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.
