Gunma Pref. Agatsumaguntsumagoimura Kambara 1053

This beautiful scenery was created from the lava that flowed out and spread when Mt. Asama had its giant eruption in 1783. The sight of the giant lava boulders scattered around makes for an impressive sight. In spring the lovely alpine plants bloom in profusion, while visitors can enjoy the changing leaves in the fall. The contrast with the deep black earth is indeed a sight to behold.

どこを見ても溶岩に囲われていて、自然の凄さや強さを感じることができる場所でした。景色も良く30分ほど歩きました。一度は訪れるべき、おすすめの場所です。 I drove there at late February. There is nice view and I felt the power of nature. I walked for about 30 minutes there...

休憩で立ち寄りました。ソフトクリームは、その後立ち寄るグリーン牧場のが美味し過ぎたので、いまいちの評価になります。焼まんじゅうも頂きましたが、まんじゅうっていうか、焼パン的な食感。景色も特筆する程ではありません。水陸両用バスが止まってました。お土産の温泉まんじゅうが、パサパサで美味しくないのが残念だった。

Materials of the period relating to the disaster are exhibited at the nearby Tsumagoi Folk Museum. The museum staff and preservation society also sometimes give talks about the history of the area. Even now, the Kuyo festival is held here every year.

1783年の浅間山噴火により犠牲になった477名、唯一残った観音堂に賭け上がれ生き残った93名の村人の明暗を分けた階段があります。流された延命寺石標、流死馬供養地蔵、15段に届かず絶命した2人の女性の遺体発掘跡、観音堂を背に村を見渡すと屋根が低い、この辺りはすっぽりと埋まったという景色。隣村有志の情けにて妻亡き人の妻となりこの歌が村の再建の執念を感じさせる。一見の価値ありです。
