    The ruins of the Iwabitsu Castle, known for its Lords Sanada Yukitaka and Masayuki, is on Mt. Iwabitsu in Higashi-Agatsuma Town, Agatsuma County, Gunma Prefecture. Built on a location protected by slopes and outcroppings of boulders, this castle is said to be one of the three fortresses of Takeda’s domain. The ruins remaining today are the Senryuin guesthouse, said to be constructed in three days by Masayuki to receive Takeda Katsuyori, the main building, and the dry moat.

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.
