Harada Farm 🍓 📍Address: 1294 Yokozukamachi, Numata, Gunma 378-0002 Japan https://maps.app.goo.gl/2biUYXCZAsjf4nBx9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy Opening hours: Open daily from 09:00-17:00 Harada Farm's fresh strawberry picking area is inexpensive and you can eat as much as you want for 30 minutes. The strawberries that can be harvested vary depending on the season. The "Yayoihime" variety is very popular because its flesh is firm and has a perfect balance of sweetness and sourness.

Hotel Yamaguchiya has two large baths and open-air baths, which are switched between men and women depending on the time!!! ⁡ The large baths introduced here are available for bathing from 15:00 to 20:00 for women only, and from 20:30 to 9:30 the next morning🙆‍♀️ ⁡ Considering dinner time, you need to check in early and take a bath!!! ⁡ I arrived around 16:30, so I quickly took a bath and then went into the hot springs while looking at the autumn leaves!!! ⁡ The temperature was a little hot, probably about 43 degrees, so I couldn't take a long bath in the indoor bath, but the open-air bath was a little warmer, so I was able to take my time🫠 ⁡ The fifth photo shows the autumn leaves as seen from the open-air bath, and the colors look clearer and more beautiful with the naked eye🍁 ⁡ Facial cleanser was provided, but lotion was not provided, so I recommend that you remember to bring it with you! #Hot springs #Hot spring trip #Hot spring inn #Gunma #Gunma tourism #gunma

This is the hot spring inn where I stayed when I hiked Mt. Myogi last November!!! I'm sorry that I'm only now introducing a lodge with autumn leaves because of the time difference...🥹 ⁡ ✔️Recommended points ⚫︎You can use the hot spring all night from 3:00 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. the next morning♨️ ※The large bath is on a rotation system for men and women, so you can't use it for about 30 minutes during that time, but you can use it all the time otherwise!!! ⚫︎The autumn leaves seen from the open-air bath are beautiful🍁 ※It's probably beautiful in the season of new green leaves too!!! ⚫︎You can stay at a relatively reasonable price even on weekends. *2 nights and 2 meals included, starting from 22,000 yen for 2 people (according to Jalan) ⚫︎The staff are friendly and easy to talk to🙋‍♂️ *Other inns are also friendly and polite, but this one had a homey, friendly feel!!! ⁡ ✔️Points to note ⚫︎The room seemed to get cold easily👀 It was November, so we had to use a fan heater instead of an air conditioner to keep warm, and we only had a duvet, so it was a little cold when we went to sleep. *It was the time of year when autumn turned to winter, so it might have just been a coincidence...!!! ⁡ Other than the above, there were no issues at all. I was very satisfied because I was able to stay for 15,000 yen per person during the autumn leaves season and on a weekend. 🫠 ⁡ ------ 📍Access 🚗About 2 hours from Tokyo or 🚄Joetsu Shinkansen Tokyo to Jomo-Kogen Station 1 hour 5 minutes 🚌Kanetsu Kotsu Bus Jomo-Kogen Station to Ohara Oigami entrance about 1 hour 👣About 20 minutes walk from the bus stop ⁡ 🕰Business hours Check-in 15:00-18:00 Check-out ~10:00 ⁡ ♨️Price ※2 nights and 2 meals included, from 22,000 yen for 2 people (according to Jalan) ------ #Hot spring #Hot spring trip #Hot spring inn #Gunma #Gunma sightseeing #gunma #Autumn leaves

I went to Fukiwarenotaki Falls in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture. The waterfall is 7m high and 30m wide, and is also known as the Niagara Falls of the Orient. In addition to the main Fukiwarenotaki Falls, there are other sights to see, such as Masutobinotaki Falls and Hannya Rock, and you can feel the negative ions, making it perfect for a walk on a sunny day. #trip2023 #GunmaTourism

Hello 😃 This time I went to Fukiware Falls in Gunma Prefecture ✨✨ My senior lives in Gunma and took me there! I saw a waterfall with a whirlpool in the middle of the river! The splashes and sounds were amazing and it was overwhelming! I also had some local beer and got drunk 🥴💥 I also had some apple ice cream! My senior, whom I met for the first time in a while, had lost a lot of weight but I'm glad he seems to be doing well! #breathtakingview #gourmettrip #gourmet #Gunmatourism #Tokyotourism #drive

#Fukiwarenotaki #Gunma #Numata I came to Fukiwarenotaki in Numata, Gunma Prefecture. The feature of this waterfall is not the volume of water or the height of the waterfall, but the gentle waterfall that can be seen from close up. As you can see in the photo, the drop is not so high, but the water still splashes quite a bit. Also, if you go a little further from the waterfall, you can see a magnificent river. I think the river is Katashina River, but if you know the river, please let me know in the comments. I rented a car from Jomo-Kogen Station on the Joetsu Shinkansen and visited the area. There are many parking lots nearby that say "this is the closest parking lot to the waterfall", which can be confusing, but you can get there quickly from any parking lot around the map, so there is no need to rush. This place also appeared in the opening of the taiga drama "Aoi Tokugawa Sandai". #Breathtakingview

Kashozan Mirokuji Temple in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, is one of Japan's three great Tengu sites. The temple's main hall houses Japan's largest Tengu mask, measuring 6.5 meters. Additionally, there are three masks around 4 meters in size and numerous smaller masks displayed. The temple was founded in 848, boasting a history of over 1,200 years. However, the Tengu worship seems to have started in the 15th century, when a monk named Chuhou ascended to heaven, leaving behind a Tengu mask. From April 21 to May 28, 2025, the temple will host its once-in-a-decade Grand Opening. Visitors can first connect with the sacred object by holding the red and white cloth tied to it at the worship hall. Then, they climb the steep stairs of Chuhoudou, built on the mountain slope, and offer incense to the sacred object at the topmost level. The staircase consists of 54 steps up and 54 steps down, totaling 108 steps, which is said to help eliminate worldly desires upon completion. Even outside the Grand Opening, the 6-meter Tengu mask alone is an impressive sight. Name: Kashozan Ryugein Mirokuji Temple Address: 445 Kamihocchi-machi, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture Access: About 25 minutes from Numata IC The last 4 km from Prefectural Route 266 is a mountain road.

#0yentravel Located in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, Fukiware Falls is a magnificent waterfall located in the middle reaches of the Katashina River, about 7 meters high and 30 meters wide. It is also known as the "Niagara of the Orient" due to its unique topography and water flow, and has been designated as a national natural monument and scenic spot.   The name of the waterfall comes from the fact that the water gushing out of the cracks created by erosion of the bedrock looks as if it was blown apart by a huge rock. The impressive scenery continues to fascinate visitors. 

#cherryblossom25 Numata Park felt like finding spring inside a storybook. Built on the grounds of an old castle, the park has this whimsical, layered layout — hilltop paths, stone steps, koi ponds, and of course, tons of cherry trees. When I visited, the blossoms were at their peak and the whole park had this dreamy pastel haze to it. Kids were running around with sakura petals in their hair, and older folks were out sketching the scenery. I walked up to the old stone tower base and looked out over the town from beneath a huge blooming cherry tree — one of my favorite quiet moments of this whole #cherryblossom25 journey. There's also a small zoo and a few retro food stalls nearby, which gave it this charming, local feel. It’s not too touristy and that’s part of its magic.

Fukiware Falls – The Niagara of the East Located in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture, Fukiware Falls is known as the “Niagara of the East” for the way its waters appear to split the surrounding rocks.

A walking trail surrounds the area, allowing visitors to enjoy a scenic stroll right alongside the waterfall. It’s especially beautiful during the fresh green of spring and the vibrant colors of autumn. A perfect spot for a relaxing day trip to reconnect with nature. --- Practical Information: Location: Oigami, Tone-machi, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture Access: About 45 minutes by bus from JR Numata Station Admission: Free Time Required: About 1 hour to walk the full trail Best Season: Spring (greenery), Autumn (foliage) Parking: Paid and free lots available nearby Note: Wear sturdy shoes – paths can be slippery Come and feel the raw power of nature with all your senses. #aprilblooms

Machidaya Shirasawa in Gunma Prefecture is a shop that specializes in selling raw yuba and tofu. The shop is famous for its handmade, high-quality soy products and attracts many local residents and tourists. We participated in the tofu skin scooping experience that day. After scooping the tofu skin, we could also taste the tofu skin and tofu products on the spot. The tofu skin had a strong bean flavor. The children were so happy eating it that they even licked the bottom of the bowl clean. You could tell how much they liked it. #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Tamara Ski Resort is located in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. It is a ski resort suitable for beginners, families with children and those who love spring skiing. You can choose to drive yourself, take the Shinkansen and shuttle bus. Because we brought children with us, we chose to join the bus package tour, which is more convenient. The children had a lot of fun playing in the snow basin here. Later, they became braver and could complete it independently, so their safety was not a problem. The snow at this ski resort is relatively fine, and it is not too cold in March, making it a great place for the whole family to have fun. #MarchGoodPlaces2025
