Gunma Prefecture

Gunma Prefecture is located in the center of Japan, northwest of Tokyo, and is known for its hot springs, ski resorts, and abundant nature that can be enjoyed within close proximity to Tokyo. Dotted with attractive hot springs surrounded by beautiful nature such as mountains, marshes, and lakes, Gunma is perfect for those who want to relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy outdoor activities to refresh their mind. Meanwhile, in small cities where the traditions of sericulture and crafts remain strong, you can immerse yourself in Japanese culture. It takes about an hour to get to Takasaki City, a transportation hub from Tokyo by Shinkansen, so you can enjoy sightseeing on a day trip, but you can also immerse yourself in the charm of Gunma by staying for several days.
