My friends and I were returning from Mt Asama to Tokyo, stopped at a Highway Oasis in Gunma Prefecture when he remembered Tomihiro Museum was in the vicinity. With help of maps, and directions from locals, we finally found ourselves on Route 122, heading toward Tomihiro Hoshino's home village of Azuma. It was the perfect day (Thurs) to visit - non-peak season. In the quiet and beautiful setting of the museum, we soaked in his story (through pictures, exhibits, video), savoured his amazing artwork and poetry. English translations of his poems were a great help for me to appreciate his thought, feelings, struggles. If I were to just focus on his painting, I can easily conclude that his painting is superb and forget that he is paralysed from neck down, and paints such beautiful pieces with his mouth. I was awed and humbled that he whom many would have thought wasted his life (when he suffered an accident at age 24) was given a second chance at life. Through his suffering and pain is birthed a depth of life many can only wish for. Truly, he inspired me that day!

An aging zoo and amusement park geared for kids, it is in a remote part of Gunma and can take a while to get to. Locals will enjoy it, but tourists will probably want to avoid it. The rides are about 100 yen each, so it's pretty cheap, but Isesaki's Kezoji park offers better rides. However, this place also runs a nice, if a little old, zoo, which is interesting.

A nice indoor pool that is often crowded, but offers a few big slides and a wave pool. Good for kids and couples and people that love pools. Just avoid the old men that stare at bikinis.

小中大滝を見るために作られた吊り橋ですが、滝よりも名物になっています。
特徴は最大斜度が４４度ということ。橋全体が階段です。
この橋は渡るというより、降りるとか、登るとかいう表現がぴったりです。
赤い橋の色とあいまっての”けさかけ”橋かと思ったら、さにあらず。
名前の由来は弘法大師と地元の源太和尚の民話にあるそうです。
駐車場から木製の源太橋を通り、山の斜面を登り、トンネルをくぐって、立派なけさかけ橋に至るのですが、何かの象徴かな。
蛇足
・わたらせ渓谷鉄道の小中駅から県道268号を10分ほど北上したところに駐車場があります
・駐車場からは５分ほどでけさかけ橋の”頂上”に行けます
・小中大滝は”ショウチュウダイタキ”ではありません。”コナカオオタキ”です。小中にある大きな滝という意味でしょう
6. Kiryugaoka Amusement Park

The zoo is quite good for a free, local zoo. There are basic exotic animals and a small aquarium. The zoo is aging, and some playground things may be very rusty, but renovations happen from time to time and the zoo is generally well maintained. The amusement park is expensive for what it is, but the zoo has to be supported somehow. The rides are fast-paced, so not suitable for toddlers, but are not generally aimed at pleasing adults. There are many entertaining 50 yen rides for the very young.

I visited this place toward the end of May. The only living thing I saw inside the glass building (the main attraction?) were about three or four kinds of butterflies, tens or hundreds of which are constantly flying right over your head or immediately around you. I got some great photos of them. Perhaps, a larger variety of butterflies can be seen depending on the month or season one visits. That having been said, the building itself houses a vast collection of various dead butterflies. The hills and forest around the glass building have a trail network, which is decent for getting exercise and/or seeing dragonflies (and I guess--although I didn't see them--other critters). Unfortunately, whether or not you only want to take a walk, or also enter the exhibit and glassed building with the butterflies, either or both will cost you 400 yen. If the cost were less for only the walk (say 100 yen), I might come here semi-regularly just for the exercise in nature.

山奥にあるため、ドライブがてら行く感じの美術館です。
自然の中に建つので、美術館の周辺も散策してみるのもいいです。
事故で手足の自由がきかなくなられた富弘先生が
口に筆をくわえて描かれたとは思えない
素晴らしい絵画と、言葉。建物もちょっと変わった造りで
周囲の散策路も素敵です。スタッフの方々も、フレンドリーで親切でした。
日光観光とセットで行かれるのをお勧めします。

大間々駅から５キロほど山の中に入った所にある公園です。公園の横を川が流れており、その川で子供が遊べるように川の本流と水遊びが出来る浅瀬に分かれていて、自然の中で水遊びが出来ます。公園には水車があって、水車の水が川に流れています。大型の遊具もあり、季節によってはセミ取りやとんぼ取りもできます。自然を堪能できる公園です。公園内に売店があってやきそばやかき氷、ボールや虫とり網なども売っています。
