🇯🇵❤️🇯🇵 . . #repost @japantravelcom ・・・ Sakura snow! We're always sad to see these beauties fall from their trees for another season, but there's something rather magical about their petals decorating the ground! 🌸⛩ 📷: @__ao.lazuri__ -----⁣⠀ 📍Ikushina Shrine, #Gunma .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣⠀ .⁣ #JapanTravel #MyJapan #gunmajapan #visitgunma #gunmaprefecture #sakura #cherryblossom #cherryblossoms #japan #wanderlust #springinjapan #nature #traditionaljapan #culture https://www.instagram.com/p/B_C5mMugKGq/?igshid=1avh54x5p0b6i

In Gunma, we have a special wish-granting doll called the Takasaki Daruma Doll which has a 200 year history. The doll resembles a buddhist monk sitting in meditation. We learned to paint the “red-clothed” Daruma dolls using brushes and black ink. The thick eyebrows are drawn in the shape which resembles a crane, believed to live 1000 years. The mustache is drawn in the shape of a turtle, believed to live 10,000 years. When you make a wish, paint in the Daruma’s left eye. When the wish comes true, you can paint in the right eye! We were lucky to watch Mr. Sumikazu Nakata, a Master Daruma Doll Craftsman paint a Daruma Doll in person at the Daruma No Furusato Daimonya workshop in Takasaki. #高崎だるま #だるまのふるさと大門屋 #群馬のいいとこ伝え隊 #gunmanoiitoko #visitgunma (at だるまのふるさと大門屋) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3HYMMgLig/?igshid=13y31kh7vg7qo

Take a rest at Japan’s number one rest stop Kawaba Denen Plaza (川場田園プラザ)！There are nice shops for soba, ramen, bakery goods, sausages, pizza and pasta! Visit the farmer’s market for fresh produce and other yummy foods! Kawada farm 川田牧場 is also nearby and they sell gelato made from their own farm-raised milk cows! The milk flavor gelato had a natural creamy taste :) #gunmanoiitoko #visitgunma #gelato #visitjapan (at 川場田園プラザ) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KMYmcgT1M/?igshid=1chd80sdjxjhc

Tatsumikan 辰巳館 is a Japanese-styled inn “ryokan” 旅館 in Minakami, northern Gunma Prefecture. I enjoyed delicious food made from locally-grown vegetables, grilled rice balls “yakionigiri” 焼きおにぎり with miso paste, “Tsukune” つくね chicken meat balls in “nabe” 鍋 stew pot, and the freshly-caught sweetfish skewered and smoked with salt (a small river fish) called “Ayu” 鮎. We all agreed that the freshness of the local ingredients made this meal especially tasty :) And after the meal, enjoy relaxing in the onsen of Tatsumikan! #visitgunma #gunmanoiitoko #gunmaprefecture (at 上牧温泉　辰巳館) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1aPP1aAu9i/?igshid=1n54uo0q1ex0c

Minakami is a beautiful mountainous area located in the north of Gunma prefecture. It is a great place to enjoy water sports such as rafting and canyoning; especially in this summer heat! Come for the gorgeous mountains such as the famous Mount Tanigawa, and you can even climb up the 486 steps at “Doai” 土合 station, the unique “mogura” (モグラ 土竜) or mole station! :) #visitgunma #gunmanoiitoko #gunmaprefecture (at Canyons キャニオンズ) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0sm0NSgXSs/?igshid=wilm893d6e0g

I feel so honored to be a part of the “Gunma no iitoko tsutae tai” (ぐんまのいいとこ伝え隊) team :) Super excited for all the great places to be visited and the many Gunma gems to be discovered! Let’s have fun in Gunma!!! #visitgunma #gunmanoiitoko #gunmaprefecture (at Gunma Prefecture) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0qx5pfAkgm/?igshid=1qfxodxi1oh25
