1. Haruna Shrine
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 249 reviews
Reviewed By PinkJamie - Tokyo Prefecture, Japan
Haruna Shrine is nestled in the Mountains. Unfortunately we visited in January and it was very crowded. There were lines of cars from both roads leading into the shrine and very little parking. They were sending 5 people at a time to pray because there was even a line up to the shrine itself. However, the atmosphere remained peaceful and I left with good fortune.

We visited this centre and joined the eco-tour on a winter day.
Our eco-tour guide reassured us that winter visit isn't necessarily a disadvantage. I didn't understand. Soon, we were shown animal footprints on snow path; those unique marks left by the wild life won't be visible otherwise. Amazing naturalist guide told us everything during the two-hour walk.
I am sure this is one of the best reasons for returning to Karuizawa during another season, to savour another magical walk. You should, too.
3. Yubatake
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
Kusatsu is recognized along with Gero and Arima as one of Japan's three most famous hot spring resorts. The Yubatake (Hot Water field) is a central meeting and sightseeing spots in Kusatsu Onsen. This is the source water field for the bubbling Onsen water supplied throughout Kusatsu village. An abundant quality of hot water with a strong acidity of pH2.1, gives the water strong anti-bacterial powers with superior therapeutic and spiritual qualities, and has attracted many people for hundreds of years. The Yubatake (hot water field) is the symbol of Kusatsu Hot Spring. Located in the center of the spa resort, Yubatake is the source of hot Springs that gush some 4,000 liters of hot water per minute amid clouds of rising steam. This so-called "hot water field" is surrounded by a Promenade made of ceramic roof tiles and there is even a bench in the shape of Mt. Shirane, a nearby volcano. Here, visitors can stroll after taking a bath and relax while enjoying the unusual and very warming atmosphere of this unrivaled resort.

We visited Yubatake late in the evening. It was very interesting to see the sulphuric hot water flowing, which is the symbol of Kusatsu and the source of the nearby hotel’s onsen water. Really pretty in dark when the multicolored lights come on. Around this...MoreThank you for taking the time to write about Yubatake and light up. I hope to you have a wonderfl and fun time to Kusatsu onsen. We looking forward to welcoming you again so soon and you should stay here for a few days:)
4. Fukiwarenotaki Falls

We were suppose to go to Oze National Park, but the park rangers didn't allow any unauthorized cars to go there due to bad weather, being bummed out, on our way back to the freeway, my sister found this place on the internet and thought we should salvage the trip by going here. Wow was it a trip. It's a waterfall with a little 2 km hike that will take you across 2 Bridges and back to the main road and back near the falls where you get up close and personal with the falls. It's a beautiful place. Will definitely come back here again if and when I'm going to Oze National Park again.

This is a very nice and family-oriented place. There's something for everyone here. Lots of local goods and organic vegetables are sold here which immediately get snapped up by travelers going up and down the main highway. There are also nice places for a quick snack or drink. While in the neighborhood, I recommend checking out some nearby attractions like the Kichijyo-ji Temple with its amazing flowers and beautiful rock garden, or any of the nearby ryokans like Yutorian for a dip in an onsen.

Long but easy walk. It is the part before reaching Ozegahara that might be a challenge. I went the day after it rains. The slope was a bit slippery. Be sure to be wearing a gd pair of shoes with gd grip! I was there slightly passed noon. The sun was strong. Got sunburnt but the photos turned out great thanks to the generous lighting. Be sure to capture the reflecting in the ponds around!

8. Nagatoro Iwadatami Rocks

Reviewed By WLL - Singapore
It was very clean and open. Everything was orderly. The rock formation is accessible by walking down a flight of steps ate the end of a rustic old-world short shopping lane with 20 odd restaurants and local specialty shops. It was a nice walk and we sampled and bought some nice local pickled veg and beans. There were only Japanese tourists. We seem to be the only foreign tourists that day. Water was calm and you could pay to ride on a 20-seater boat along the river Arakawa.

Shinkansen from Tokyo to Takasaki. Local JR from Takasaki to Shibukawa. Local bus from Shibukawa station to Ikaho bus terminal. Local bus from Ikaho to Mizusawa or 30mins (3km) walk.
If traveling by public transport, do this as early as possible and make time for something else for the day. Don't forget to ring the bell and hit up the famous Mizusawa udon!
10. Okushima Lake

Reviewed By chanlil - Kuala Lumpur
I was attracted by the picture in the website thus decided to make a visit to Shima Onsen.
We took a slow walk from Kurenai Restaurant after lunch and reached a park where Nakanojo Dam (hope I am right) is located at the end. I was told that we can climb the stairs up and see Okushimako Lake. Unfortunately, the entry to stairs were locked and we did not want to take the risk to pursue further.
Despite not being able to achieve what we want to see, it was a good walk as scenery along the way was nice in a quiet place.
Hope the authority can facilitate an easier access to visit this beautiful lake.
