    Gunma Pref. Agatsumaguntsumagoimura Kambara 492
    This Kannon Temple is located in Tsumagoi Village, Agatsuma County, Gunma Prefecture. It is believed to be the only remaining one in Kanbara Village since the great eruption of Mount Asama in 1783. Kanbara Village was completely covered by the eruption and has been called the Oriental Pompeii. In an excavation made in 1979, the remains of two women were found at the bottom of the stone steps. 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。

Tours of the village led by local guides are also available (reservation required).

    正確には、「重要伝統的建造物群保存地区 養蚕の里 赤岩集落」といいます。 場所は有名な温泉地である草津や四万温泉に近い場所にあるので、その途中に寄ってみても良いと思います。隅から隅まで歩いても片道400ｍほどですので、長くても1時間もあれば十分に散策できます。 集落の西の端に「ふれあいの家」というある意味、案内所（トイレあり）がありますので、そこに駐車（5台くらい可）して、地図などの資料をもらっ...

    Gunma Pref. Agatsumagunkusatsumachi Kusatsu
    A Shinto shrine dedicated to Yamato Takeru located a 10-minute walk from the last bust stop on the bus bound for Kusatsu Onsen leaving from Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi Station on the JR Agatsuma Line. Just when the shrine was established is unclear, but it has long been a destination for worshippers, particularly those who view Mt. Shirane as sacred. The shrine was originally located at the top of Mt. Shirane but a new main shrine building was built in the current location when it was ranked as a village shrine. There is a large ema votive tablet on the grounds which visitors are free to write their wishes on. There's also a monument to the Washi no Yu, the oldest public bath in Kusatsu.
