    とてもいい動物園だと思いました。高低差がある飼育施設なので、歩き甲斐があります。タイミングよくベンチや展望スペースがあります。行く前に桐生市の運営だと聞いていました。それはそうなんでしょうが、森産業が頭についていました。優良企業が背景にあるからできるのだと思います。知りませんでしたが桐生市内においては、有名な多角経営をされていて、分野では世界的な技術をお持ちの会社なんですね。だからほかの動物園とは...

    Gunma Pref. Otashi Yabudukachou 3318
    This is the only research and exhibition facility in Japan which specializes in snakes. It is located approximately 10 minutes' walk from the Tobu Kiryu Line's Yabuzuka Station. Its main purpose is the research and uses of venomous snakes, and in the Venomous Snake Terrarium, visitors can see King Cobras, Rattlesnakes and other snakes from around the world. In the Orochi Terrarium, large snakes such as the yellow anaconda and alligator snapping turtles are on display. Viper venom extraction demonstrations are held on weekends and national holidays in the Antivenom Room.

    Gunma Pref. Kiryushi Nisatochoutsurugaya 460-1
    Visitors learn about insects up close on the expansive grounds of this experiential education facility that replicates the Japanese countryside in the Niisato area of Kiryu City, Gunma Prefecture. In environments that closely resembles the insects’ natural habitats such as woods, rice fields, and brooks, visitors observe varieties like butterflies and beetles. In the insect observation facility there are many displays of woodland creatures and insects from around the world. There is also a subtropical greenhouse where you can see the tree nymph butterfly, the largest in Japan.

    県が運営しているということもあって大人の入場料が410円と格安なのと、中学生以下が無料というのが何とも素晴らしい。 これだけの施設と展示内容だと大人だと1,500円以上、子供もその半額くらいとられても十分に納得がいく。 マレーシアによくある日本人もよく訪れるような熱帯の蝶が飛び交うバタフライファームがあるのは日本ではここだけなのでは? 鬱蒼とした熱帯の植物群が生い茂るドームの中に、南国の蝶の...

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.
