PY WONG The Traveller: The surroundings are exceptionally quiet, making it ideal for relaxation or even a bit of meditation. It may not be the best choice for families with children, as there are very limited amenities catered for them. Service, however, was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond — when my rental car had a brake light issue, they noticed it before I did, stepped in to assist, contacted the rental company, and ensured it was resolved the very next morning. That level of attentiveness is rare. Location-wise, it is quite remote. There’s little within walking distance, so getting around or finding food requires some planning. But if you’re here for peace and an onsen experience, that quiet isolation becomes part of the appeal. A memorable stay overall, especially for those seeking calm, comfort, and genuine hospitality.

Lunalove: For the hotel booked by the Nawata Fireworks Conference 🎆, the front desk curling brother is very friendly and helped us a lot. The fireworks started at 7 o'clock. We arrived at the hotel at 6:30 to check in. Thank you, curling brother, for constantly calling to help us call the car. During the car, he also took the initiative to help us take pictures.  The emotional value is full. It calmed our anxious and uneasy heart. We had to cut the first fireworks. There was only one plug-in potential in the room. The hotel knew that it was insufficient. It prepared an extension line and a mop. But the style of the hair dryer was too old. The hair was not dry and it was hot. The toilet and the new toilet board were not suitable. Pay attention when going to the toilet. The room was clean, the shower water was hot enough, and the air conditioner was cool enough. Unfortunately, the TV does not have Netflix,  so I have a four-point ratio in terms of facilities.

Guest User: This was my first time staying at this hotel privately, but as it's a new one, it was clean and comfortable. I stayed in a twin room, and the space was more than satisfactory. My only complaint was the food in the restaurant. They're committed to cutting costs, so they keep the staff to a minimum, and apart from the all-you-can-drink option, they only offer beer and sake; you can't order sours or highballs. Why? There's a wide variety of food, but most of it is thawed and reheated. I guess this is common in business hotels these days.

キルヒアイス: I used it on a snowbo trip with my former colleagues at the company. I was able to spend a very pleasant and enjoyable time, such as flexibly responding to the request of the room and considering the dining venue according to the number of people. The hot spring was also pleasant. I will definitely use it again.

Guest User: I stayed at this hot spring hotel before going on the Oze trekking tour. The fact that there is a shuttle bus from Ueno to Jomo-Kogen Station at 2pm when taking the Shinkansen is a big plus (lol). I had to rush in the morning to get to Oze, but breakfast was scheduled for 7:30am. The service of moving it up to 7am was fantastic. I'd definitely like to use it again next time.

XINGQI: The traditional Japanese hot spring hotel has two open-air hot springs, a soup of Chicheng and a soup of rock mirrors. When you take a hot spring, you can see the opposite mountain view and beautiful scenery. Laoshen Hot Spring is at the entrance of the tail owl, and plans to go to the tail to hike early in the morning. The woman of the hotel will hear that I am going to go to the stern, and I will help me to contact me for the next day to go to the tail of the bus. I feel that the service attitude is really touched.

Want to eat like a local? Don't miss out on these top Numata dishes and foodie spots.
The mornings and evenings have turned quite crisp. With these cooler days setting in, the peak season for autumn flavors has finally arrived! I took a little road trip to visit shops selling wild-foraged mushrooms and local apple orchards. I also made sure to sample some of the local delicacies while I was there! [Specialties] Maitake Mushrooms Wild Mushrooms Apples I was particularly looking for "Salted Sansho," which is made from the young sprouts 🌱 of Japanese pepper trees harvested around here in early spring. Since it's so popular, I made a reservation before heading out. It’s perfect for rice balls 🍙, great in hot pots, and works wonderfully as a condiment for tofu 🫚. Just think about the effort—each leaf has to be picked off by hand. It’s incredibly labor-intensive! [Maitake Bento] Located at a farm stand on the way to Oze National Park, these Maitake Bento boxes are a huge hit with hikers. They usually sell out by morning, so a reservation is absolutely essential.

The sight is absolutely stunning! ✨ National Natural Monument: Recognized as a National Natural Monument and one of Japan's Top 100 Waterfalls, it's a bucket-list spot for every traveler 📸! ✨ Nearby Attractions: Don't miss the uniquely shaped "Hannya Rock" and the downstream "Masutobi Falls." It becomes a prime leaf-peeping spot in autumn, where the vibrant maples and cascading water create the perfect photo op! ✨ Hiking Trail: The loop trail takes about an hour. You can wander through the lush forest and soak in the fresh air—it’s the ultimate chill experience! 【Travel Info】 Address: Okai, Tone-machi, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture (Fukiware Falls) Transport: Approximately a 50-minute bus ride from JR Numata Station. Best Time to Visit: Autumn is a must for the fall foliage 🍁, but it's also a fantastic cooling retreat in the summer! Instagrammable spots, hiking, and natural wonders all in one place!

![[Gunma] Founded in 795 AD! Discover "Ukishima Kannon-do" Across the Ukishima Bridge — traveler post in Numata](https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/1mi3b224x9am8ebeq19F6_C_480_270_R5.jpg_.avif?proc=source/trip)
When visiting the famous Fukiware Falls, make sure to add "Ukishima Bridge" and "Ukishima Kannon-do" to your itinerary. Ukishima Bridge offers up-close views of the stunning gorge carved by the Katashina River. One of its greatest draws is how the scenery transforms with the seasons—from vibrant fresh greenery to fiery autumn leaves 🍃 And while exploring, something truly caught my eye... A massive beehive nestled right on the cliffside! 🐝 It’s so large that you can spot it even from a considerable distance. Interestingly, I saw one in a similar spot last year and found it again this year. While I couldn't find details on how long it's been there or the specific species, it certainly left a lasting impression amidst the natural beauty of the valley. Just past the bridge lies "Ukishima Kannon-do." Records show its history dates back to 795 AD, the early Heian period. The main deity was restored in 1469, and the temple hall was rebuilt in 1534. The structure you see today was reconstructed in May 1984, faithfully preserving its original design. Inside, you’ll find the "Ukishima Nyoirin Kannon," a statue attributed to the legendary master craftsman Hidari Jingoro. Continuing further brings you to "Fukiware Bridge." You can enjoy views of landmarks like the "Meoto Iwa" (Husband and Wife Rocks) from a unique perspective, different from Ukishima Bridge. Fukiware Falls is more than just a waterfall; it's a complete experience encompassing historic bridges, sacred halls, and breathtaking valley vistas. After marveling at the falls, I highly recommend taking a short walk to explore these hidden gems ✨ 《Spot Info》 ⚫︎ Ukishima Kannon-do 📍 Oigai, Tone-machi, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture 🎫 Admission: Free 🕘 Hours: Open for public viewing 🚫 Winter Closure: Typically closed from mid-December to late March ※ The walking path is closed at night.
![[Gunma] Why Does It Look Like a Demon? Exploring Hannya Rock and the Strange Formations of Fukiware Canyon. — traveler post in Numata](https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/1mi5v224x9am06eavF052_C_480_270_R5.jpg_.avif?proc=source/trip)
The allure of Fukiware Falls extends far beyond the waterfall itself. As you explore the surrounding area, you'll encounter towering cliffs and uniquely shaped rock formations one after another. The most striking of these is "Hannya Rock" (Hannya-iwa). It gets its name from its resemblance to a Hannya mask—a classic Japanese demon face. According to Numata City’s official guide, the towering rock wall is called Hannya Rock because of this uncanny likeness. But how did these massive rock walls form in the first place? Fukiware Canyon is built on a foundation of Kozawa tuff and Fukiware welded tuff. Over countless years, the flow of the Katashina River has eroded the landscape, sculpting the valleys, cliffs, and various natural wonders we see today. Numata City highlights Hannya Rock, Byobu Rock, and Shishi Rock (Lion Rock) as prime examples of these natural artworks. Beyond Hannya Rock, you’ll find the "Rock Wall Cluster," an expanse of strange formations stretching tens of meters high. Walking through, you don't just see rocks; you truly feel how water has spent eons crafting this breathtaking scenery. A word of caution: the walking paths here are quite narrow, so please be mindful of others when taking photos. Numata City advises visitors to yield to one another due to the tight space around Hannya Rock. In fact, we stepped aside to let someone pass before stopping to take our own photos. The terrain can also be slippery, so it’s important to stay within the marked white lines or ropes and avoid using your phone while walking. If you’re visiting Fukiware Falls, make sure to take in the "natural sculptures carved by water" that surround it 🌿. ⚠️ There are slippery stairs on the way down to the falls, so I highly recommend wearing comfortable, sturdy shoes.
![[Gunma] Captivating Every Time! Explore Fukiware Falls, the "Niagara of the East." — traveler post in Numata](https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/1mi1v224x9aluhjvhE8AD_C_480_270_R5.jpg_.avif?proc=source/trip)
Fukiware Falls in Numata City, Gunma Prefecture. This is one of my favorite places that I find myself visiting over and over again. Though it's known as the "Niagara of the East," Fukiware Falls looks a little different from your typical waterfall. Rather than water plunging straight down, its defining feature is the way the water spreads horizontally, cascading into massive fissures carved into the riverbed. It stands 7 meters high and spans 30 meters wide. This unique landscape was formed over countless years as the Katashina River eroded the riverbed, creating numerous cracks in the softer sections of the rock. It is said to be named "Fukiware Falls" (literally "split-blown falls") because it looks as if a giant rock has been violently split open. And the charm of Fukiware Falls isn't limited to the waterfall itself. The surrounding area includes Masutobi Falls, Hannya Rock, Lion Rock, Ukishima Kannon Temple, Ukishima Bridge, and various observation decks. You can enjoy the beauty of the entire canyon while strolling along the walking trails. One of the biggest draws is how the scenery transforms with the seasons. The coming season brings the autumn leaves 🍁. According to Numata City's official records, the peak foliage is usually from late October to early November. Offering a different vibe from the current lush green landscape, you can enjoy the striking contrast between the autumn colors, the white rushing water, and the dark bedrock. From the fresh greenery of spring and the clear streams of summer to the fiery leaves of autumn, Fukiware Falls shows a different face every season. No matter how many times you visit, it’s a place where you can always discover scenery unique to that specific moment in time. 《Spot Information》 🏞️ Fukiware Falls 📍 Tone-machi Okkai, Numata City, Gunma Prefecture 🚗 Access About 25 minutes (approx. 16km) from the "Numata IC" on the Kan-etsu Expressway toward Oze via Route 120. 🚌 Public Transportation About 45 minutes by bus bound for Kamada from JR Numata Station. Get off at "Fukiware-no-taki" and walk for about 3 minutes. 🎫 Admission Free 🕘 Viewing The walking trails are closed at night. 🚫 Winter Closure Usually from mid-December to late March. 🅿️ Parking Free and paid parking lots available in the vicinity.
I visited Tambara Lavender Park in early August, and the lavender was in full bloom, creating a spectacular sea of purple flowers! What was particularly special was the dense fog that day. Although the clear mountain views in the distance were obscured, the rolling mist surrounding the flower fields created a dreamy and beautiful "fairyland" atmosphere, making for uniquely atmospheric photos. While I couldn't help but wish for clear skies, the mysterious beauty of the misty landscape was still unforgettable. I highly recommend visiting in summer to enjoy the flowers and take a stroll!
