#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

#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.

#skitrip Tanigawadake Tenjindaira is a hidden gem for skiers and snowboarders seeking deep powder and fewer crowds. Located in Gunma Prefecture, it is known for heavy snowfall and breathtaking mountain views. The resort offers a handful of well-groomed runs for beginners and intermediates, but its real appeal is the off-piste terrain, attracting advanced riders. The ropeway ride up the mountain provides stunning scenery, especially in winter. Facilities are basic compared to larger resorts, with limited dining and rental options. However, for those seeking natural snow, a peaceful atmosphere, and backcountry adventures, Tenjindaira is an excellent choice.

#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. The hot springs here are of excellent quality, especially for relaxing and allowing you to find a moment of tranquility during your busy travels.

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!! I especially recommend the morning. ✨This time I stayed without meals, but next time I'd like to stay with meals included. 🐒-----------------------------➸Tips☑︎The baths are alternated between men and women on the day of stay and the next day. ︎︎︎︎︎︎☑︎There is only one open-air bath. ︎︎︎︎︎︎☑︎Delicious rice is also sold. ︎︎︎︎︎︎☑︎There was a wild serow near the inn! I was surprised to encounter it by chance. ︎︎︎︎︎︎☑︎Plum blossoms were blooming outside the window of the room where I stayed, and it was very beautiful. -----------------------------➸Recommended spots📍Onoya Hakkeien ✤Address: 76 Aimata, Minakami-machi, Tone-gun, Gunma Prefecture✤Access: 🚗 About 20 minutes by car from Tsukiyono I.C. on the Kan'etsu Expressway.

Personally, I had no problems at all 🙆♀️-----------------------------#How to spend spring break #Cherry blossom viewing spots #Best value accommodation #Sakura2024 #Hot spring accommodation #Hidden gem #Gunma #gunma #onsen #Free Hong Kong air ticket

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
