If you visit Ikaho Onsen, there are plenty of tourist spots and gourmet spots to explore in addition to the hot springs. The exotic Bukkou-san Hosui-ji Temple is a healing space with beautiful Taiwanese Buddhist architecture that will give you a sense of the extraordinary. Mizusawa Kannon Temple, a short drive away, is a historic temple with a hexagonal hall that symbolizes the six realms of reincarnation, and is a place to soothe the soul. If you're hungry, you can't miss the specialty Mizusawa Udon at Osawaya. The chewy noodles and refined broth are exquisite, and you can enjoy it both hot and cold. If you're looking for something a little more fun, return to your childhood at Totoro Bus Stop and take a commemorative photo. At the nearby Konnyaku Park, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat konnyaku and a factory tour, making it a fun spot for both adults and children. If you go a little further, you'll also find the World Heritage site Tomioka Silk Mill. The buildings that retain the appearance of the Meiji era will give you a real feel for Japan's modernization. And to finish off your trip, head to the "Stone Steps Street," a symbol of Ikaho. It's a special time to stroll around and smell the hot springs while feeling the retro atmosphere of the hot spring town. #IkahoOnsen #Hosui-ji Temple #Mizusawa Kannon #Osawaya #Totoro Bus Stop #Konnyaku Park #Tomioka Silk Mill #Stone Steps Street #Gunma Trip #Hot Spring Trip #Domestic Trip

#0yentripFebruary2025 🕰️Business hours: 0900-1730 🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: ⭕️ 📍Address: 676-2 Kanai, Kanra-cho, Kanra-gun, Gunma 370-2216 💰Price per person: up to 1000 yen 💞Reasons for recommendation: I went to Mentai Park, which I had always wanted to visit when I came to Gunma for a trip. I had lunch before coming here, but I refrained from eating here, thinking that I might eat here. Admission is free and you can sample freshly made mentaiko that has never been frozen. The mentaiko I sampled was really delicious...‼︎ They also offer refrigerated delivery, so I immediately arranged to send it to his family. You can order rice balls, butaman, etc. at the shop and eat them on the spot. Hot and cold tea or water is available for self-service. The mentaiko in the mentaiko pork bun was less pronounced than I expected, but it was still delicious. I opened it as soon as I received it, but the skin easily stuck to my fingers and in my mouth, so it's a good idea to have a drink with you. I had spicy mentaiko and grilled cod roe onigiri. It's hard to tell from the photo, but each onigiri is really big...‼︎If you're a small eater, I think one of these would be enough for lunch. There was a ton of mentaiko inside. It was delicious and worth more than the price. The souvenir corner was also fun, with many mentaiko series lined up. If you showed your JAF card at the cash register in the souvenir corner, you could get mentaiko furikake. It's not given out at the cash register, so if you're a JAF subscriber, please try it out. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely stop by. Thank you for the meal!
