2025 Maebashi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

I went to the one and only art hotel "Shiraiya Hotel / SHIROIYA HOTEL" ✨ Shiraiya Ryokan was founded in Maebashi, Gunma during the Edo period and was loved by many famous people. It had a history of about 300 years, but closed down in 2008. And in 2020, "Shiraiya Hotel" was reborn under the design of Sou Fujimoto. I'm happy to finally be able to go to this hotel that I've been wanting to go to ever since it opened. When I arrived, I was surprised to see that the Heritage Tower, which is eye-catching from the outside, is also a work of art (Pic.7). When I entered the building, I felt like I had wandered into a museum, with all the art works inside. And above all, there was an atrium that went up to the 4th floor. Leandro Erlich's Lightning Pipes were installed as if they were threading through the stairs, which was fantastic. It was also impressive that I could experience the art works just by going up and down the stairs... At night, it was illuminated in various colors, which was also fantastic. Each room had a different work of art on display, and I stayed in a room designed by Sou Fujimoto, which I had always wanted to stay in. #Kanto Tourism #Gunma Tourism

Mount Akagi is home to a variety of natural wonders, but the most spectacular of these is Kakumanbuchi. The beautiful marshland, also known as Little Oze, has a promenade where you can take a stroll. Although it is not as grand as Onuma and Konuma, the scenery is just as complete. #AutumnFoliage #MountAkagiMountainClimbing

There are three Akagi Shrines in Gunma Prefecture alone, with Mount Akagi as the object of worship, and this one is located at the foot of Mount Akagi. The date of its founding is unknown, but it is known to have been here since ancient times. It is a little dark, perhaps because it is located in a cedar forest, but this creates a solemn atmosphere. #Shrine #MountAkagi #AutumnFoliage

Mount Akagi is one of the three mountains of Jomo, along with Mount Haruna and Mount Myogi. Like Mount Haruna, it is a collective name for multiple mountains. It is a famous peak chosen as one of the 100 most famous mountains in Japan, and there is a variety of rich natural scenery within the mountain, including Lake Onuma. This is a photo of Mount Komagatake, which is part of that range. #MountainClimbing #AutumnFoliage #MountAkagi

This cafe at the top of Uniqlo isn't large and there's a small but seemingly adequate amount of seating for the fast turnover. We tried the special Geisha blend hand-drip coffee and it was a bit fruity but otherwise not particularly special. Still, it was an ok cup of black coffee. They also sell a few small packaged snacks to go with your coffee. Not bad for a convenient coffee break whilst shopping at Uniqlo, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come for the coffee.

This mountain is perfect for coming here in the spring season and admiring the views. How to get there The Akagi Cherry Blossom Festival, held in Maebashi in Gunma Prefecture, is easily accessible by public transport. In Tokyo, take the JR Joetsu Shinkansen to Takasaki Station. There, transfer to the Ryomo Line to Maebashi Station. The trip will only take about an hour. You can also take the JR Takasaki line from Ueno Station to Maebashi. It will take 1 hour and 45 minutes. You can get around the city by bus. The circular route starts at the southern exit from Maebashi Station. An unlimited one-day pass costs 1,500 yen for adults and 750 yen for children. The bus stops at the Gumma Flower Park and the German-style village Akagi Kronenburg Yuhodo. The cherry blossom festival is held within a five-minute walk from the village. Romantic moments A strip planted with sakura stretches along the slope of Mount Akagi for 3.5 kilometers. Rows of trees form a stunning airy pink tunnel above the trail. When the wind blows, a gentle floral rain falls from them. Traditional treats During the flowering season, visitors can buy food and drinks at the numerous stalls. A variety of dishes are prepared here, which are served at Japanese festivals — yakitori, yakisoba, takoyaki. Please note that it is very crowded here during the event. Cherry Blossom Calendar The time to observe the cherry blossom depends on the weather. As a rule, sakura blooms sometime in early April, but in different years these dates may shift within two weeks.

#cherryblossom2024 The weather is good, the wind is calm, and there are quite a few people, making it a perfect day for cherry blossom viewing.🌸 It feels like a picnic.🥳 There are probably more than 1,000 cherry blossoms in full bloom, and it looks like a preview screening of the stage (venue) to show off to the onlookers.🌸🤩 Spectators have time to refresh themselves. I was enjoying the spring season to the fullest at the Senbonzakura Festival venue.☀️ Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be quite crowded as it is the final weekend, and there will be heavy traffic as we enter the parking lot in front of the venue. It might be a good idea to start early.🌸

Why not go on a solo trip to sharpen your sensibilities on the weekend? It's only 80 minutes from Tokyo, so it's perfect for a quick trip alone✨It was just the right amount of city touring.

Akagi Shrine is the head shrine of about 300 shrines nationwide. There has been a dispute between Akagi Shrine and Oobora Akagi Shrine over which is the main shrine. Unlike Oobora Akagi Shrine, it has a quiet atmosphere, and the quietness creates a sacred feeling, so it seems like this shrine could be just as good if it were the main shrine 🙌 ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❥❥History Founded during the reign of Emperor Sujin. Initially, there were two shrines, Nishimiya, which worshipped Kokuzo Bosatsu to Ouma God and Senju Kannon to Ouma God, and Higashimiya, which worshipped Jizo Bosatsu to Jizo Mountain on the central crater cone, due to the faith in Ouma and Ouma Lakes at the crater lake of Mount Akagi. Due to the anti-Buddhist movement in the Meiji era, it was reduced to one shrine. In the modern shrine ranking system, it was later promoted from a local shrine to a prefectural shrine. There was talk of further promotion, but with the end of the war, it has remained a prefectural shrine. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Miyazawa Akagi Shrine ꕥAddress: 114 Miyazawa-cho, Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚗 60 minutes from Hashie Smart IC on the Kita-Kanto Expressway 🚕 About 20 minutes from Ogo Station on the Jomo Electric Railway ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Gunma Tourism #Gunma Trip #Shrine Tour #Temple and Shrine

Akagi Shrine is said to be the head shrine of about 300 shrines across the country. (There are various theories) It is enshrined on Kotorigashima Island on the east shore of Lake Onuma. The closer we got to Mount Akagi, the thicker the fog got. 🙌 The glittering vermilion shrine stands on the misty lakeside. It's so magical! ️ Walking around the grounds while looking at the lake🚶♀️ I enjoyed the different atmosphere from usual🎶 There were quite a lot of gifts to choose from, so I had a hard time deciding, but I received a rare, extra-large amulet❣️ The design of Akagihime👸 is lovely😆✨ ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❥❥History Originally, Akagi Daimyojin, a nature god, and Akanuma Okami, a swamp god, were enshrined here. In the first year of the Daido era (806) of the 51st Emperor Heijō, the shrine was moved to O-do on the banks of Lake Onuma. Later, Tokugawa Ieyasu was enshrined in the co-shrine. The shrine was rebuilt in 1642 by order of Tokugawa Iemitsu. This rebuilt shrine building fell into disrepair over the course of 300 years, and in 1912 it was moved from O-hora to the site of Itsukushima Shrine on Kotorigashima Island (its current location). And it has remained there ever since. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ❁ ❁ ❁┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥShrine name: Akagi Shrine ꕥAddress: 4-2 Akagiyama, Fujimi-cho, Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌90 minutes from Maebashi Station 🚗 60 minutes from Akagi IC ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #besttrip2023 #Akagi Shrine #Gunma Tourism #Gunma Trip #Shrines and Temples #Shrine Tour

The most amazing National Day is to go to Qianqiao City, the seat of the county hall in Gunma County. I met Gunma Jun! ! () After Kumamoto and the minister met intimately, this is the second cute popular image that I saw in Japan! Super happy! ( ) But it is not this, but a super-small place to look at the city and night scenes of Maebashi City, the 32-story observatory of the prefectural office building! And also! ! Here is free! You can take the elevator up before 10 pm, not bad! There is a small restaurant where you can eat good burger meat and lunch is super affordable! (Cough, the staff of the county hall downstairs will come up for lunch.) How, this super super minority recommendation, isn't it? ? (* )
