Gunma Prefecture is located in the inland eastern part of the Japanese archipelago and is divided into four regions: Northern, Central, Western, and Eastern. Gunma Prefecture has a Pacific-type climate, and because of its inland location, summers are very hot and thunderstorms are common. In winter, a strong, cold, dry monsoon called "Kukafu" blows. There are many hot springs in Gunma Prefecture. Kusatsu Onsen, Ikaho Onsen, and Shima Onsen are especially popular and are also known as Gunma's three major hot springs. The warm hot springs will heal your body and mind, and refresh you from the fatigue of daily life. Famous local products and foods are Shimonita leeks and konnyaku. In particular, konjac, made from konjac potatoes, accounts for more than 90% of the nation's total konjac production. There is also a konjac park where visitors can learn about the history of konjac by touring a factory that produces jelly, ita-konjac, and shirataki. Afterwards, you can enjoy a buffet of konjac dishes, so if you are interested, please visit the park. Gunma Prefecture is close to the Tokyo metropolitan area, making it a perfect destination for a short trip, and is recommended for those who are tired from their daily work, as they can heal their bodies in the hot springs.
