Beautiful, serene and tranquil shrine in the mountains of Takasaki City. This shrine is really old and now undergoing major renovation works. It's still very much worth a visit if you're in the area.

The shrine area was magical. It felt like walking into a fairy-tale. Also, I highly recommend the hike from the shrine to Haruna lake. It is difficult, but the view over the lake is amazing.

Good place to walk to a main building of the shrine. Also there are many nice Soba noodle restaurants in front of the shrine gate.

Not too touristy, 1,300 year old campus of shrines curved out on the side of mountains in Gunma Prefecture. Very somber, impressive buildings - not because they are foiled in gold or they have the record ranking size, but because they have quietly endured the time, and still existing. When I went there, it was the 2nd day of the New Year, and yet still, not too many people were there, daring the bitter cold air of the cedar woods and frozen water falls. I live in western NY, so I know cold - this place carried it's own winter bitter! True to the essence of Shintoism, even the smallest and the most eroded structures are still kept, tendered and their dieties are well respected. A little Cha-Ya (tea house) half way up the lane that's leading up to the main shrine, reminded me of how things were perhaps 1,000 years ago, treating those who have traveled days or weeks, or even month to get there, on foot. ( I'm pretty fit BUT their official "15 minutes to the top shrine" was a bit of a stretch - a handful of really old ladies in their 80- 90 something were walking with a cane, taking rest every few steps up a very steep stone starts) This place is famous for the plums. Their Plum Cake (Ume Manju) was very tasty, with a whole cooked plum inside, wrapped inside of not too sweet red bean paste.

A very good place to visit for those who are looking for a solemn place to pray. It's my second time to visit this Shrine and it seems the construction is not yet finished so I can't rate it 5 stars. From Takasaki Station, we ride a bus and stop on the foot of the Shrine. When we arrived, there are remains of snow from the last day. It took us 15minutes to reach the Shrine since we enjoyed the scenery Haruna Shrine offers. The road is cemented, there are few sloppy stairs but it's not that hard to ascend. I've seen a shop where you can buy foods in case you've got a hungry stomach. For those who have cars, there is parking near the entrance of of the Shrine.

Gunma prefecture has significant place in the history of japan and Mt. Haruna can be described as the one integrating the harmony and cultural depth of the japanese ethical principles. The shrine itself is complementary to the ethical practice. Very calm, excellent atmosphere and elegant. If you get a chance to visit I recommend to hold some extra time and walk along side ways towards lake haruna. It's simply breathtaking..

Very nice place to relax it has water fall,small dam,river,and temples..recommend ❤️

A tranquil place with solemnity where you'll find a nice trail leading to a Japanese shrine of hundreds years old inside the mountain. Everything is so original without much artificial decoration. Lucky that not many foreign tourists (particularly.those from.mainland Chinese) know this place, the site remains quiet and one can really enjoy an escape of busy life here walking leisurely deep in mountain. Definitely a five star tourist site as of today.

for sure very nice !!' A little girl came up to us and said she is the guardian at Haruna and wished us much luck today. In return my friend gave her a bite of his sandwich & I wished her a trouble-free day. (wonder what country the girl was from -- > Nepal ???

It was local market + museum. Bus stop by for rest time but it was useful that we can rest bit, taste local food with know about the Yamba History. Hope this kind of rest zone will spread to all the Japan areas.

Pretty cool road station. There are great views of forests and water in all directions. Parking is pretty limited and the shops are high traffic due to other station’s location next to Yamba Dam. The ice cream stand has some excellent flavors I recommend the blueberry vanilla soft cream combo - I don’t recommend the coffee jelly soft cream combination as there is really nothing special about it.

Local market with cheap vegetables, and great view near the station!

Dropped by on our way home from Kusatsu Onsen. Toilets are clean and if you buy something you get a free cup of amakuchi rice wine, not sure if it’s all year round though. We do regular stop over here each year.

Only came here for the stamp but happy we stopped! Cute michinoeki with a free footbath, hot sweet potatoes and a curry restaurant as well as a local farmers market. Theres a convenience store that sells cute and delicious pastry. Its right next to a huge blue lake which you can see whilst in the footbath. The scenery of the lake, the bridge and ths mountains is breathtaking.

It's a dam but there are a lot of tourist attractions.

Beautiful view of the river and the bridge. Stunning colors in autumn 🍁

Very nice and scenic rest stop with eateries and stalls selling local produce.

A reservior for the drinking needs of Tokyo

A proper place to enjoy the snow. Whether you are skiing, snowboarding or just to play at the snow park, this is the place. The amenities are also family and kids friendly. I believe the place is well kept and parking should not be a problem.

Very flexible activities to select and pay for accordingly. Kids love the place. I like the fact that it's not over crowded.

I love ice skating this one is the nice place to enjoy vacation time

They have natural snow and the view of the mountains around is amazing. They should lower the price for the snow play area for little kids though, considering that many people come with small children. The parking is free though so overall the experience is still better compared to other ski resorts in Karuizawa. I didn't try the food in the restaurant because it looked disappointing... Lots of curry, ramen and fried stuff, Japanese fast food...

The paradise for families with small children. We went there with my 16 months old to show her snow for the first time. It was the end of the season (March) so some of the snow was mushy but there was more than enough left to have fun with her. They have a “presi park” that’s just amazing for kids under 8, with many things you can do: sledge, tubbing, bouncy castle, many snow toys like outdoor slides, wheelbarrows, snow striders etc… Inside there’s also a play area for kids if you want to go to when they’re tired or cold. They have changing tables, high chairs and sell diapers. The cherry on the cake is that there are so many families with babies a few months old in carriers to pre-teens. Cries and snot aren’t look down on, it’s just expected as part of a family vacation. I really like that kids here are part of your day and it’s not a resort where you put them into daycare. Will definitely come back with the next kiddo

It’s a nice place for beginners and people who want to go skiing or snowboarding. There is a playground for your little ones. This place is a complete package for a family trip. This is a huge parking space.

The place was really lit! It was a safe haven for me! It felt surreal! 😊 Coming from a country where it's literally summer all year round 😂✌🏿, to see snow was always on top of my bucketlist ever since I was a kid! Thank you Karuizawa Snow Park and Resort for this great experience! 💙 . . . . . #snowexperience #snow2020 #wheninjapan #wandering #travel #travelwhileyoucan #skiingforthefirsttime 💙

The place is about 5 minutes from the station. It will cost you flat rate of JPY710 to get here (the cab driver didn’t charged us extra). It is convenient for people who want to enjoy Karuizawa with kids because of sled and tube ride. They have a walkalator to save your legs going back and forth (it’s cool!). Kids can also enjoy the little tiny house right after you climb with the walkalator. Bouncy snowman is also nice because the adults can get in as well to watch their kids. And there’s a nice kebab shop just outside the area and it tastes really good. Overall, I highly recommend this place for families with children.

It’s nice place for beginners and people who wants to go skiing or snowboarding somewhere not too far from their place. And there is outlet malls and beautiful places nearby so after skiing or snowboarding people can also visit beautiful places in there.

Passed by this lovely active volcano in January on the way to the snow monkey hot springs. Steam or smoke was coming out of it while it was snow topped. Would love to see it more closely one day.

外輪山に登って浅間山に登っておいたことにするのはいいかも。でも、百名山のひとつを制覇したとは思ってほしくないス。というかそもそも名山は百じゃ足りん。 (Translated by Google) It might be a good idea to climb the somma and then climb Mt. Asama. However, I don't want people to think that they have conquered one of the 100 famous mountains. Actually, 100 famous mountains is not enough.

Nothing much to see. If you climb to the top, there's a temple. Good place to go if you like to take pictures with the mountain in the background. Almost all the shops were close when we went there last month.

Worked well as a hot tub but my friend was burnt alive

前掛山まで。浅間山荘登山口から登ったので、黒斑山などは登らず。そっちからは以前登ったので今回はいいかと思ったけど、浅間山の全体像を見るなら登った方がいいですね。 山頂付近は雪がついており、チェーンスパイクを履いてる方もいました。独立峰なだけに、風が強いです。道は終始歩きやすかったです。 (Translated by Google) Up to Maekakeyama. I climbed from the Asama Sanso trailhead, so I didn't climb Mt. Kurobara. I thought it would be a good idea to climb there this time since I had climbed there before, but if you want to see the whole picture of Mt. Asama, it would be better to climb it. There was snow near the top of the mountain, and some people were wearing chain spikes. Since it is an independent peak, the wind is strong. The path was easy to walk from start to finish.

Mount AsamaMountain (climbing) weather forecasts for 3 elevations of Asama Yama, Honshu, Japanese Archipelago, Japan. Detailed 6 day  ...

We were doing a self-drive and saw this majestic mountain in front of us. I couldn't resist and stopped the car and to do many more shots before heading to Karuizawa snow resort.

On a sunny winter day, you can see the gorgeous views of snowy Asama from the ridge walk of the surrounding mountains. Definitely worth a hike!

Beautiful view of Mt Asama from Onioshidashi Volcanic Park!

Really cool Vulcano. Definitely a must see even if the area is restricted due to the activity of the vulcano.

It is a very beautiful, adventurous and dangerous hike up the volcano. Do pack extra food and water before starting. Don't miss the waterfall on the way up :)

Very normal service... Confused ...

(Translated by Google) I was impressed! I have a villa in Kita Karuizawa and I come here every year, so I wonder why I've never been here before. It's amazing to be able to eat raw corn, and the orange tomatoes are also really delicious! The children were picking blueberries from the tree and eating them. The farm is also nice. The apple juice at the end was so delicious that I bought it as a souvenir. I will go again! (Original) 感動しました！北軽井沢に別荘があり、毎年来ているのに、なんでこれまで来たことがなかったのだろうと。とうもろこしを生で食べれる感動、オレンジ色のトマトもすごく美味しい！ブルーベリーは子供達がパクパクパクパクから木からとって食べてました。農園の方も素敵です。最後に頂けるリンゴジュースも美味しすぎてお土産に買いました。また行きます！

(Translated by Google) At the request of my family, I was hired as a driver during summer vacation, and to be honest, I was there when it was crowded! I reluctantly went out thinking that. My mood completely changed when I arrived! Enjoy the beautiful scenery, fresh air, and freshly harvested vegetables! Corn is super sweet even when it's raw! ! From fruits such as plums and blueberries to vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, and lettuce, the types that can be harvested vary depending on the season. You can eat all the vegetables you want with no time limit. On the way back, we also have local sales at the reception desk, where you can purchase freshly harvested vegetables at a low price. Clothing that you don't mind getting dirty and a cooler box to take home vegetables are required. Even though I must have been reluctant, I will definitely repeat it lol (Original) 家族の希望で夏休み中に運転手として駆り出され、正直、混んでる時に！と思いながら嫌々出かけました。 到着して気分が一変！いい景色にいい空気、更にはその場で取れたて野菜を満喫！　トウモロコシは生のままでもめちゃめちゃ甘い！！プラムやブルーベリーのフルーツから、トマトやキュウリ、ナス、レタスの野菜まで、時期によって収穫出来る種類も違うそうです。 時間無制限でどの野菜も食べ放題。 帰りには受付所での現地販売も行っており、格安で取れたてお野菜を購入出来ます。 汚れてもいい服装と、お野菜持ち帰り用のクーラーBOX必須です。 嫌々だったはずなのに、必ずリピートするでしょう　笑

(Translated by Google) You can harvest all kinds of vegetables and eat them on the spot. I will buy what I take home. It might be a good idea to bring some mayonnaise or miso with you. The fee is variable and changes depending on when you enter the park first thing in the morning and when you leave. (Original) 色々な野菜を収穫してその場で食べ放題です。持ち帰る分は買い取りです。 マヨネーズとか味噌持参で行くといいかも。 料金は変動制で、朝一で入園した時と帰る時で変わっていました。

(Translated by Google) I went on a weekday between three consecutive holidays in September. It was my first time eating raw corn, and it was very sweet and delicious. The cherry tomatoes were delicious, but perhaps because it was a bad day, there were very few ripe ones, which was a shame. The other pears were unripe, and the prunes were overripe and bursting with flesh, so I thought I would have enjoyed it quite a bit in August. It was 1,500 yen, but the all-you-can-eat corn experience alone was worth it. gradually? The corn was also being eaten up. (late September) (Original) 9月の3連休に挟まれた平日に行きました。 生のとうもろこしを食べるのは初めてでしたが、大変甘くておいしかったです。ミニトマトも美味しかったのですが、日が悪かったのか完熟の物が本当に少なくて残念でした。他の物も梨は未熟だったり、プルーンは熟れ過ぎて身が弾けていたりで8月ならかなり楽しめたのかなと思いました。 1500円でしたが、とうもろこし食べ放題体験だけでもおしくないです。そろそろ？とうもろこしも食べつくされつつありました。（9月後半）

(Translated by Google) Young landlady? Everything is ruined by this person's arrogant customer service. Filled with as many green beans and potatoes as you like, put them all in a plastic bag and head to the reception desk. It took 5.6 minutes from the field to the reception desk, pushing the trolley around. There was a separate charge for potatoes added to the bill, and when I looked suspicious, the young landlady got involved. "It's not in the bag. If it's like that, you wouldn't say it was packed. It makes me question common sense." It must have come out of the bag while the cart was rattling around. I felt the worst at the end of a fun time with my child. The child's tension also dropped. Even though I've been going every year for over 10 years, I can't remember faces or names. In the end, he gets angry. The elderly president was a very nice person. That's why I look forward to going every year. This is exactly the pattern of the second generation destroying the company. In the end, I couldn't eat the potatoes for which I had to pay extra because the insides were damaged or eaten by insects. This young lady? If you see one at the reception desk, consider yourself out of luck and give up. If this person is not there, it is a great place where you can have fun all day and the kids will be very satisfied. Because of this person, my family will never go to Ishida Tourist Farm again. It's really disgusting. (Original) 若女将？ この方の横柄な接客で全てが台無しにされます。 インゲン、ジャガイモなど詰め放題で、目一杯ビニール袋に入れて受付へ。畑から受付まで5.6分、台車をガラガラと押して。 精算で別途ジャガイモの料金が追加されていて、不審な顔してたら若女将が絡んできました。「袋に入ってない。あんなんじゃ、詰めたと言わない。常識を疑う」とのこと。 台車ガラガラやってる間に袋から出ちゃったんでしょうよ。 子供と楽しく過ごした最後の最後で最悪な気持ちに。子供のテンションもガタ落ちでしたよ。 10年以上毎年通っているのに、顔も名前も覚えない。挙句の果てにキレられる。ご年配の社長さんはもの凄く良い方でした。だからこそ、毎年楽しみで行くんです。まさに二代目が会社を潰すパターンですね。 結局、別途料金取られたジャガイモは、中が虫食いなんだか傷んでいてたべられず。この若女将？が受付に居るときは運が悪かったと思って諦めてください。この方が居なければ、一日中楽しめて、子供達も大大大満足な良い場所です。 この人のせいで、我が家は二度と石田観光農園には行きません。ホント胸糞悪い。

(Translated by Google) This is the best farm to eat and enjoy vegetables and fruits to your heart's content. There is no time limit and you can stay all day long, so this is a highly recommended place to let small children experience harvesting. (Original) 野菜とフルーツを思う存分食べて楽しむには最高の農園です。時間無制限で一日中居る事も可能ですので、小さいお子さんに収穫の体験をさせてあげるにはとてもお薦めの場所です。
