These days, you can feel the signs of winter as you step on the fallen leaves. Even in Ikaho, the mornings and evenings are getting colder day by day, making us realize that winter has arrived.
Autumn and winter in Gunma, where you can be enjoyed in different ways throughout the four seasons, are seasons where you can enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery of the year. This time, we would like to introduce two spots where you can feel the great outdoors that you should visit on your trip to Gunma.
1. Onioshidashi park
In 1783, Mt. Asama, Gunma Prefecture’s representative mountain, experienced a historic eruption. It is said that the name came from the fact that the large amount of pyroclastic flow and lava flow that erupted at that time looked like something pushed out by a demon living on Mt. Asama.
The lava that flowed out during the eruption is spread throughout the park, and you can tour several courses while enjoying the seasonal flowers.
There is also a service where you can take guided tours for free inside the park. You can learn about the origin of Onioshidashi and its buildings.
