  • Shirane Shrine
    Travel / Tourism
    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.

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.
