Ikaho Onsen

Ikaho Onsen is a famous hot spring in Gunma Prefecture with a history of over 1,000 years. It’s popular for relaxation and its health benefits. The special thing about Ikaho’s hot springs is the iron-rich water, which gives it a brown color and is believed to have healing properties.

One of the main attractions is the stone steps, a symbol of Ikaho Onsen. These 365 steps are lined with shops, restaurants, and traditional inns, giving the town an old, charming atmosphere. Ikaho also offers beautiful hiking trails around Mount Haruna, perfect for nature lovers
