#Oze #Gunma #Niigata #Fukushima I went to Oze. I visited the Gunma side, but it also spans Niigata and Fukushima, so you can enjoy nature over a very wide area. You have to travel by bus through the areas where private cars are prohibited, but there are many buses and I had a comfortable ride with almost no waiting time. It's probably difficult to see all the areas in just one day, but as of October, the autumn leaves are at their peak, so I'd like to go again next year if I can! #Breathtaking views

“Takaragawa Onsen Osenkaku” (宝川温泉汪泉閣) is a ryokan-style resort in a beautiful open-air hot spring area in Minakami City, Gunma Prefecture. Every season changes…cold…spring…hot…fall We found that in the middle of autumn, this inn is as beautiful as an oil painting, with colors painted on paper. In November, the temperature drops by 6-7 degrees Celsius in the morning. Deciduous trees such as maples and ginkgo trees begin to adapt to the long winter by shedding their leaves to reduce water loss. This is a natural phenomenon that turns red and yellow in sequence. The beautiful view is created to impress us when we visit. It takes about 3-4 hours to travel from Tokyo, and we will arrive at the “million-dollar view” inn. 🍷 #Million-dollar view inn

I cannot say this enough…Japan gets so much better once you leave the cities. On our first trip we made the mistake of only visiting Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. After five trips, we finally explored regional Japan, and honestly…Minakami completely stole our hearts. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, national parks and natural hot springs, it feels like a whole different world away from Tokyo. Save this post if you are looking to see a side of Japan most international tourists never get to witness. 📍 MINAKAMI, GUNMA 🚌 How to get there: Take the Joetsu‑Shinkansen from Tokyo to Minakami Station. 65‑75 minutes one‑way, approx ¥5500. Many hotels and ryokans offer free shuttle buses from the station. ⏱ How long to stay: We recommend 2 nights, so you can: ✅ Stay in a traditional ryokan ✅ Soak in natural hot springs ✅ Ride the ropeway ✅ Visit Doai Station ✅ Slow down and experience rural Japan 📍 Easy regional destinations for your first‑time Japan trip: 🔹Tokyo (5 nights) 🔹Nasu (2 nights) 🔹Kyoto (3 nights) 🔹Osaka (2 nights) 🔥 Don’t miss out ♨️ Hot springs Minakami is famous for onsen. Honestly it’s one of Japan’s best spots to experience traditional hot‑spring culture surrounded by nature. 🚡 Ride the Tanigawadake Ropeway (Tanigawadake Jōchō at Starlight Resort) Enjoy sweeping views of the Joshin‑etsu mountain range. In summer you can ride the special botanical gondola. 🏨 Traditional ryokan stays We stayed at quiet riverside ryokan Tatsumikan, and secluded mountain resort Osenkaku, famous for outdoor onsens. (Links in our guide) 🚞 Visit Doai Station One of Japan’s most unique train stations. You walk down 486 steps to reach the underground platform. 🌊 Suwa‑kyo Gorge & Minakami Gorge Some of the most beautiful hiking walks we’ve found in Japan, with suspension bridges and stunning mountain scenery. 🧗 Adventure activities Minakami is known as Japan’s adventure capital.

If Tokyo is too crowded, try a change of scenery and escape to Minakami, a small town in Gunma Prefecture. 💚 This place offers a distinctly different feel of Japan from the big city, with mountains, rivers, onsen (hot springs), and nature all around. The atmosphere is peaceful and not crowded, perfect for those who want a break from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. 🌿 ✨ Highlights of Minakami: ♨️ Soak in onsen surrounded by nature. 🚡 Ride the Tanigawadake Ropeway and enjoy the mountain views. 🌊 For adventure seekers, try rafting or canyoning during the summer. 🍁 The autumn foliage is stunning. ❄️ In winter, enjoy snow and skiing. Another advantage is that it's easily accessible from Tokyo, making it ideal for short trips or stopovers while exploring Gunma. 🗻 💡 We recommend staying one night so you can enjoy a relaxed trip, soak in the onsen, stroll along the river, and fully experience the small town atmosphere. For those who have been to Tokyo many times already... If you're looking for a new side of Japan where it's not too crowded, Minakami is definitely a city you should add to your list! 🇯🇵✨ #HiddenJapan #Minakami #Gunma #MinakamiGunma #JapanTravel #OffbeatJapan #IndependentJapanTrip #GunmaTravel #JapanReview #TravelwithMyPartner

"Preparing for Oze sounds like a lot of work..." That was the impression I had, but the boardwalks are actually very well-maintained, making it a breeze even for beginners! ☺️ I've put together a list of things I was really glad we brought, along with a breakdown of how much the trip cost for the two of us. 📝 ✔︎ We bought a bear bell at a nearby 7-Eleven. ✔︎ Body wipes were an absolute lifesaver! ✔︎ The restrooms run on a donation system, so bring plenty of 100-yen coins just to be safe. ✨ The nature in Oze is beautiful, of course, but the beef stew at the Oze Lodge was also incredibly delicious, so you definitely have to try it! 🍴🤎 I hope this helps anyone planning a trip to Oze soon. 🌿 If you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment or send a DM! 😊 Don't forget to save this post so you can check it again before you head out! 📌 Hiking

Atmosphere/Facilities: This is a famous peak representing the Minakami area, and you can easily access high-altitude views using the ropeway. As you ascend from the base, the scale of the mountains that spread out before you is overwhelming. Hiking trails and observation areas are well-maintained, making it an environment where even beginners can enjoy nature without difficulty. On clear days, the contrast between the sky and the mountains is simply beautiful. Recommended Points: ・Easy access to spectacular views via ropeway ・The panoramic view from near the summit is breathtaking and perfect for photos ・Each season has its own distinct charm (fresh greenery, autumn leaves, snowscapes) ・Easy access from Tokyo, making it a highly satisfying day trip Its greatest appeal is that it's a mountain where you can be moved without having to do a full climb. It's the perfect spot for those who want to experience nature but don't want something too strenuous. #solotravel #Tanigawadake #Minakami #ropeway #spectacularviewspot

If you consider yourself a "railway enthusiast" or love mountain adventures, Minakami Town in Gunma Prefecture is definitely worth adding to your To Go list! This trip will take you to three underrated adventure spots: the secluded resort house Tanigawa Hanare, the mysterious underground Doai Station, and the Tenjindaira Ropeway Station with its unbeatable views. The entire trip features both idyllic mountain scenery and incredibly deep underground passages that will make you question your existence, making it perfect for those who love exploration and don't want to follow the beaten path. Attraction Recommendations 1. Tanigawa Hanare 📍Address: 1756 Tsukiyono, Minakami, Tone District, Gunma 379-1313 Located at the foot of Mount Tanigawa, this secluded little house is a hidden gem in Minakami Town. Here, there are no tour groups, only distinct seasons in the mountains and a near-private tranquility. You can enjoy tea in the courtyard outside the house while gazing at the snow-capped mountains, a cool respite even in summer. Surrounded by a variety of tree species, the scenery, changing with the weather, evokes a Japanese rural film feel, perfect for those who enjoy quietly appreciating nature. 2. Doai Station (Japan's Deepest Underground Station) 📍Address: RXJ6+2P, Minakami, Gunma This station is truly mysterious; even many railway enthusiasts may not know it exists. A word of caution: upon arrival, you must descend an extremely long and deep staircase. Passengers carrying luggage or lacking stamina might find themselves wondering if they're living underground. The atmosphere definitely has the feel of an abandoned ruin (but it's actually still in normal use). If you want to capture a niche railway scene or heartwarming moments like children wearing train hats, this station is sure to produce great photos! The changing light and shadow along the stairs and passageways are very interesting, making it a mini-urban adventure. Tip: This station is rarely recommended online/travel information; it's a true hidden gem in Gunma Prefecture. It's best to bring water or energy drinks beforehand, as climbing the stairs is quite a workout! 😆 3. Tenjindaira Chairlift Station 📍Address: Yubiso, Minakami, Tone District, Gunma 379-1728 Opening Hours: 08:00–17:00 year-round (Mon-Fri); 07:00–17:00 (Sat-Sun) If you enjoy a rooftop ride, this cable car station is a must-take! Ascending from the foot of Mount Tanigawa to the sky, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Minakami town's mountains and forests on a clear day; on a cloudy or rainy day, the mist and shadows create a unique, adventurous, fairytale atmosphere. After arriving at the station, you can enjoy various activities such as hiking, children's excursions, and photo shoots. Food service is limited, so it's recommended to bring your own light snacks. Practical Travel Tips: The Minakami area boasts abundant natural scenery but can be damp and chilly at times, so it's advisable to bring rain gear and a warm jacket. If traveling with family or children, a light walking route is recommended; if you plan to climb the stairs at Doai Station, carefully assess your physical condition and pack as lightly as possible. There are limited dining options in the area, so it's best to bring your own lunch or arrange your own. You can try local handmade desserts at a rustic cafe near Tanigawa Hanare. For transportation, you'll generally reach Minakami Town by JR train and bus. Railway enthusiasts should check the Doai timetable, as trains are not very frequent. Deep travel isn't just about checking off tourist spots; it's about discovering those "mysterious travel destinations" that you can only encounter by exploring them on foot. In the mountains of Gunma Prefecture, perhaps your next stop will be a secret memory! #MinakamiTour #MustVisitForRailwayFans #DeepJapanTravel #DakeTanigawa #FamilyNatureTrip

1. Doai Station Address: Yubiso-Doai Station, Minakami-machi, Tone-gun, Gunma 379-1728 Japan's No. 1 mole station! It takes about 10 minutes to get to the underground platform! Going through the tunnel, you will see a fantastic view...! 2. Doai Sabo Dam Address: Yubiso-Doai Sabo Dam, Minakami-machi, Tone-gun, Gunma 379-1728 Just a few minutes walk from Doai Station! It's like a waterfall and very beautiful! 3. Gotoku-san Mizusawa Kannon Address: 214 Mizusawa, Ikaho-cho, Shibukawa-shi, Gunma 377-0103 A temple in Ikaho full of nature! It's very beautiful, with historical buildings and nature blending together!

Out of all the highway rest stops we visited during our Japan trip, Akagi Kogen SA (Upbound) truly stood out as one of the best. The area is spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, making it more than just a pit stop. What really impressed me was the garden area at the back, which was specially created for dog owners—a thoughtful touch that reflects how well-rest areas are integrated into the Japanese road travel experience. The restrooms were huge and spotless, and the souvenir shop was packed with local goodies, snacks, and regional products. Everything had a modern and welcoming feel to it. We had dinner at the attached food court, which had multiple stalls offering all kinds of Japanese fare. We opted for ramen—it was decent, nothing fancy, but the portion size was massive. Honestly, one bowl could easily feed two people. Kudos to the friendly server for their generosity! Before hitting the road again, we grabbed coffee from a small café tucked in the corner—a lovely surprise with good-quality brews to go. This stop exceeded expectations and made our drive feel that much more enjoyable. #summervacay #AkagiKogenSA #JapanRoadTrip #ServiceAreaGem #JapaneseHighwayStops #CleanRestStops #SouvenirsAndFood #TravelJapan #travel #johorbahru #johorbahrutrip #malaysia #malaysiatrip

Stopped by this ramen stall inside the Akagi Kogen Service Area for a quick meal during our drive. I went for the spicy ramen, which was decent—about what you’d expect from a highway rest stop. Warm, mildly spicy, and comforting enough, though nothing that really stood out. We also ordered the gyoza, but that was a letdown. It came with dipping sauce in a plastic packet, which felt a bit too pre-packaged and took away from the experience. The service station itself is new and modern, with a good variety of food options for its size. Free water was available, which was appreciated. Overall, it’s a convenient place to stop, stretch your legs, grab a quick bite, and continue your journey. If you’re hungry, this ramen will do the job—just don’t expect a gourmet bowl. #summervacay #AkagiKogenSA #RamenPitStop #HighwayEats #SpicyRamen #JapanServiceArea #QuickBite #RestStopReview #japan #japantrip #tohoku #travel #tohokutrip

#skitrip Tanigawadake Tenjindaira is a great destination for those who love deep powder and scenic mountain landscapes. Located in Gunma, it receives heavy snowfall, making it a paradise for off-piste and backcountry enthusiasts. The resort has a few groomed runs for beginners and intermediates, but advanced skiers and snowboarders will appreciate its untouched terrain. The ropeway ride to the top offers breathtaking views, especially in winter. Facilities are minimal, with limited restaurants and rental services, so planning ahead is essential. While not as commercialized as larger resorts, its natural beauty, quiet atmosphere, and excellent snow conditions make it a must-visit.

#2024 Travel Review **Tsukiyono Onsen** The happiest part of 2024 was going to Gunma! Moon Night Onsen is a hidden hot spring resort with a beautiful environment that allows you to enjoy the beauty of nature while soaking in the hot springs.

An extraordinary space led by 486 steps! History and the mysteries of nature encountered underground Doai Station is an unmanned station on the JR Joetsu Line located in Minakami-machi, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture, and is known as the "number one mole station in Japan" due to its unique structure. 📍Doai Station 🗺️218-2 Yubiso, Minakami-machi, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture 🚉JR Joetsu Line local trains stop here, but the number of trains per day is limited, so we recommend checking the timetable in advance. ⭐️Underground platform The platform for the outbound line (towards Niigata) is located in the Shin-Shimizu Tunnel, about 82 meters underground, and it takes about 10 minutes to descend 486 steps from the station building on the ground. Iki Encyclopedia ⭐️Upbound platform On the other hand, the platform for the upbound line (towards Takasaki) is above ground, and you can use it while looking at the surrounding nature. 📕History When the Joetsu Line opened in 1931, Doai Station was established as a single-track above-ground station. Later, with the double-tracking of the line in 1967, a down line was installed in the newly excavated Shin-Shimizu Tunnel, and an underground platform was created. ⭐️Doai Station is a popular spot for railway fans and tourists due to its unique structure. In particular, the long staircase leading to the underground platform is worth seeing, but it is physically demanding, so you need to be well prepared and careful when visiting. ⭐️When planning a visit, we recommend that you prepare the necessary food and drink in advance and allow plenty of time as there are few shops and restaurants in the area. #FritabiWinter #0yenTrip

Introducing the inn "Onoya Hakkeien" located in Sarugakyo Onsen, Gunma Prefecture. Gunma has many hot springs!! Sarugakyo Onsen in the Minakami Onsen area is a hidden gem - ̗̀ ☺︎☺︎☺︎ ̖́-Lake Akaya is right in front of you. All rooms have a retro Showa-era view and even come with a kotatsu table. ♡⃛It's still cold in the mornings and evenings around Sarugakyo Onsen at this time of year, so the kotatsu table is a blessing. ✨ There is a veranda, so the lake can be seen from a chair. 🤍The hot spring is also very good, and the view from the open-air bath is the best!!

To be honest, this clip is a very energetic clip. A day of energy. At first, I didn't think it would be difficult, but when I actually went to play, I knew that this type of sport is really not suitable for me. Not only does it require a lot of physical strength, but it also falls a lot. I can't do it, I can't fight with other people. If I go again, I will probably be a spectator or a photographer or dress up to take pictures. Just taking pictures is awesome. #Sakura2024

I recommend reserving the hotel's parking space early. There is no maximum nighttime charge for the coin parking lot next door, but I think it's expensive.

Took my first ever ski trip and couldn’t be happier to get on my first snowboarding experience at the Hodaigi ski area. An all inclusive trip started at a meet up point in Shinjuku at midnight before embarking on a six hour overnight bus ride to the Hodaigi ski area. Just as the dawn was breaking we arrived and it was just beautiful to be greeted with heavy snowfall and later the sky clears making it perfect for snowboarding.To add to the fun there was occasional snowfall throughout the day and it just couldn’t be more magical. Overall it was great first experience and i am looking forward to more snowboarding trip’s hopefully in Hokkaido in 2024 #2024wish #bucketlistchecked

Mount Tanigawa is a cuffed mountain straddling Gunma and Niigata prefectures. The Tanigawa Ropeway is a beautiful cable car ride that takes passengers up to Mount Tanigawa, which is known as the “Roof of Gunma”. The ride is especially popular in the autumn season when the leaves begin to change colour, creating. a breathing sight. Drove from Tokyo to Gunma takes about 3 hours. Do travel there early to avoid traffic and crowd. #tokyo #autumn #driving #mountain #gunma #minakami #ropeway
