Healthy Japanese-style breakfast

#celebratewithtrip A healthy Japanese-style breakfast tray including millet porridge is served. We love the piece of homemade tofu served with soya milk. All the food is really yummy. We enjoyed much and plan to come back and experience at Oyado Tamaki.

Fantastic experience @ Oyado Tamaki

#celebratewithtrip We were very impressed with dinner. Fantastic experience. From start to finish you will be blown away by the food and the attention to detail.

Ikaho Onsen Stone Steps

#celebratewithtrip This place is a hot spring town. It says one of the old planned Onsen town in Japan. Original steps and town were build in 1580's Amazing! Hot spring water flows down the waterway in the middle of the stairs.In winter, it steams and welcomes many tourists. There were hotels, souvenir shops, retro-modern shooting shops, etc. Great place, highly recommended! #japan #friendstrip

【Ikaho】Recommended Gourmet on the Stone Steps Street.

①Mizusawa Udon Osawaya 📍〒377-0102 Gunma Prefecture, Shibukawa City, Ikaho Town, Ikaho 45 One of Japan's three famous udon noodles! It has a firm texture and the noodles slide down the throat nicely. GOOD! It can get crowded during lunchtime, so it's wise to check in first and then take a stroll through the stone steps street! ②Rungo 📍〒377-0102 Gunma Prefecture, Shibukawa City, Ikaho Town, Ikaho 66-6 A cafe located midway up the stone steps street ☕️. It's the perfect spot to take a break when you're tired, and they serve delicious coffee. Both takeout and dine-in are OK! Great for souvenirs too!

Autumn in Japan is full of autumn colors, and this season's scenery, food and hot springs are always fascinating. Gunma Prefecture, which is very close to Tokyo, has a lot of long history and humanities worth exploring. There are not only the famous mountain of the movie "Initial D", but also the island of Sado, the origin of the drum boy, and the appeared in Spirited Away. Tub boat. "The first letter D" is the coolest mountain road. The Yixiangbao Hot Spring in the rolling hills of the famous county of Gunma Prefecture (named the famous autumn mountain in the movie) has a history of more than a thousand years. It is a very long-established hot spring town. . Shijie Street is the most representative spot of Yixiangbao Hot Spring. The street is located on the slope. There are 365 steps. There are traditional Japanese-style hotels, restaurants, hotels, local shops and restaurants on the left and right sides of the central street. Style. We are very recommended in the "Heart of the Heart" in Ikaho Onsen, Gunma Prefecture. This hot spring hotel will have a 100-year anniversary next year. The open-air hot springs have a great view. You can enjoy the hot springs while overlooking the mountains and the mountains. Close the eye ~~

Osawaya - Stone Steps

#celebratewithtrip It is a famous shop of Mizusawa Udon. The head office is in front of the gate of Mizusawa Kannon, and this is a branch. Mizusawa udon is one of the three major udon in Japan, and it has a chewy texture that goes down easily and is delicious. Udon, soup and tempura are all delicious. I think that it is a good shop with a good location almost in the middle of the stone steps, a beautiful interior, etc. Definitely recommended 👍 #japan #friendstrip

Late Autumn in Shibukawa

#fallingforfall Ikaho Stone Steps - We walked the 365 steps to the top. Fun gift shops, sweets, and restaurants along the way. Even carnival game shops on the way. Half way up is a onsen foot bath for free. Make it to the top to see the shrine. After climbing the 365 stone steps, there is Ikaho Shrine, and if you go further, you will find an open-air bath and a red arched bridge called Kajika Bridge. #couplestrip #japan
