An off beaten path from the busy city

It only takes an hour from Tokyo station to Takasaki station through the bullet train and an approximately 15 mins bus ride to Kannon sancho bus terminal. You can definitely feel the serenity and tranquility once you step out of the bus. The air is also fresh and the people there are nice. The small unique shops along the shopping street. I was even offered tea even though I was just doing window shopping. The best season to go is during Sakura season where the byakue Kannon will be surrounded with Sakura trees. You can also pay 300 yen to go up the byakue kannon to overlook the city view. Also, if you’re early enough, you can catch the monks praying and chanting. All in all, this is one of the best places I’ve visited! #gunma #japan
