#0yentravel Tourist spots other than the hot springs in Ikaho, Gunma Prefecture✨ [Bukkou-san Hosui-ji Temple]🏮 This is apparently the location where the hugely popular movie "KINGDOM" was shot😆 I was lost in the thought that Yamazaki Kento and his friends had also visited here while I was walking around! lol The large temple that stands at the top of a long staircase is a temple in Taiwan, so it feels like you're overseas, and the view from there is indescribably beautiful, and you can feel like you're the main character of Kingdom😆💓 You can worship, there's a cafe inside, and spend your time freely🙌🏻 It seems you can even experience becoming a monk!! 👩🏻🦲 It's very hot at this time of year, so the stairs are tough, but you can drive up to a certain point, so it was easy😊 If you go to Ikaho, this is a spot you should definitely visit✨ 📍Location: 637-43 Ikaho, Ikaho-cho, Shibukawa-shi, Gunma Prefecture 💰Price per person: Free #Gunma #FilmingLocationTour

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
