Gunma is a scenic, mountainous region just a few hours from Tokyo, known for its legendary hot springs, alpine adventures and rich local culture. Home to some of Japan's most famous onsen towns - like Kusatsu, Minakami and Ikaho - Gunma is the perfect place to unwind in natural thermal waters surrounded by nature. With dramatic gorges, lush forests and snowy peaks, the region is also a playground for outdoor lovers year-round. Add in traditional ryokan stays, hearty local dishes and easy access from the city and Gunma becomes an ideal destination for those seeking both relaxation and adventure in an authentic, less-travelled part of Japan.
