— Attractions Introduction —


  • Shaolin Mountain Bodhidharma Temple

This is a Buddhist temple dedicated to the late Bodhidharma, the founder of
Zen Buddhism. The temple's most famous feature is the colorful "Daruma Doll,"
a symbol of effort and the fulfillment of wishes. Every New Year, it attracts
a large number of worshippers who pray for career success, academic
advancement, and the fulfillment of their dreams.


  • Shuize Guanyin Temple

Located near Ikaho Onsen in Gunma Prefecture, this ancient temple, officially
known as "Gotokusan Mizusawa-dera Temple," boasts over 1,300 years of history.
Its primary deity is the Eleven-Headed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The
temple's main deity is designated a secret Buddha, revealed to the public only
once every 33 years. While in the area, you'll want to try Mizusawa Udon, a
signature local dish of the Mizusawa region. Considered one of Japan's "Three
Great Udons," it's known for its chewy, hand-made texture and simple yet rich
dipping sauce.


  • Ikaho Onsen Stone Street

Ikaho Onsen Stone Street, located in Gunma Prefecture, is a historic street
leading to Ikaho Shrine. Famous for its 365 stone steps, symbolizing peace and
good fortune throughout the year, it's a prime spot for experiencing Ikaho
Onsen culture.


  • Ikaho Shrine

Located at the top of Ikaho Onsen Ishida-dori Street in Gunma Prefecture, this
shrine boasts over a thousand years of history, dedicated to the gods of hot
springs and medicine. It is a sacred site for locals and tourists seeking good
relationships, good health, and safe hot springs. After traversing the 365
steps of Ishida-dori Street, you'll reach the shrine, offering a panoramic
view of the entire Ikaho Onsen area. This is a must-see destination for both
religious and scenic viewing. In spring and autumn, it's a hidden gem for
cherry blossom and fall foliage viewing.


  • Kajika Bridge (autumn leaves from late October to mid-November)

Located in the forest trails of Ikaho Onsen in Gunma Prefecture, Kajika Bridge
is a vibrant red arched wooden bridge spanning a clear stream, surrounded by
maple trees and nature. In autumn, when the maple leaves turn crimson, the
bridge's vermilion bridge contrasts beautifully with the crimson foliage
covering the mountains, making it a classic autumn viewing spot in Ikaho.
