What is like "Gunma"?

 

Agriculture is thriving in Gunma cause of proximity to Tokyo. Many cabbages and cucumbers are produced here.

Gunma has many hot spring resorts. Kusatsu-onsen is one of the most popular hot springs in Japan.

Gunma is also known for Konnyaku production. It is a kind of gelatinous food and made from Konnyaku yam roots.

The Daruma doll produced in Gunma is known as Japanese traditional doll. It is typically red, round and depicting a bearded man.

 

About 100 musical casts from COMMON BEAT in Gunma will have practiced musical show when you visit Gunma. You may be able to interact with them by sining and dancing, also watching their show.

The summer in Gunma is famous as hotter place than any other area in Japan. You can enjoy wonderful encounters and activities there, so we're looking forward to spending time in "HOT Gunma" with you ALL!
