- Gunma Prefecture may be a landlocked prefecture but it has so much history and culture. By far the best thing to do in Gunma is visiting Kusatsu Onsen. Kusatsu is one of the most famous onsen towns in Japan and for a good reason! Flowing through the entire town is a number of hot springs rich in assorted minerals that are known for there healing properties. If your one for hot springs, than thats fine, too. You can watch a live cultural preformace and explore the unique townscape.
I also made a stop over at Takumi no sato, which is a small craft village hidden away in the mountains. It's an easy and rekaxing place to spend a few hours and learn how to make some interesting local crafts.
Next there is the Tomioka Silk Mill. This mill was the first silk mill in Japan and helped bring japan into the 20th century. The silk mill also some interesting history behind it, including possible myths about vampires?!
Lastly, just a few mintues drive from the silk mill is the famous Daruma temple. As the name suggests, this temple is famous for Daruma and actually has the largest concentration of Daruma dolls in all of Japan. This temple is definitely ely worth t a quick stop over.

Kusatsu Onsen is so lovely, I miss Japanese onsens, hopefully next time I can go visit Kusatsu Onsen.
I loved Kusatsu. I wish I could have spent more than just a day there. It was amazing. I definitely recommend
Love the intro animation and drone footage, such a nice place the way this is edited is really professional great job
Thank you for such a great comment. I can't always use my drone but when I do I try to get some good shots. I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you so much.....

Thanks so much. I had a lovely time on the island. I really recommend a visit if you ever come to Japan

I loved the kusatsu area. you are so lucky to live near such a lively place with great onsen!
Very interesting video. I didn't even know that the French had an influence there. I enjoyed the video, it is very well done.
Yeah, I thought it was hilarious that the Japnese thought the french were vampires because they were drinking wine.
Dude! How you dont have more subscribribers? you're smashing! love this vid
Thank you so much!! This really means a lot to me. I just enjoy making videos for myself so it makes me happy when other people enjoy my work
Awesome video! The editing is fantastic. Looks like such a gorgeous place. Would love to visit these hot springs. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Honestly the best hot spring town I've ever been to and I've been to a lot
Hey yo, that place was for takumi live!11!1!11!!!!!1!1!
Oh sorry if u don't the reference, is an anime show call initial d. A car guy who drive a panda toyota ae86 who drift at the mountain at midnight.
Thank you for your comment. I don't know the reference so thank you for explaining it.
Another awesome video Leah. I am learning so much about Japan from your videos.
Thank you. I'm happy that you're learning so much about Japan. I learn a lot when I travel too. It's one fo the reasons I love traveling so much.
So bummed, I was supposed to go here this long weekend but couldn’t find a car 😭😭
I definitely have to visit, along with Karuizawa in the region!
Also stunning drone shots! Weird question - did you find any issues in flying your drone? I’m always afraid to fly mine in populated areas because of people staring, I never know if I’m allowed 😂
It's a shame you couldn't rent a car. It's hard to get to some of these inaka areas by public transport alone. Kusatsu was by far one of the coolest onsen towns I've visited and I've been to a lot! Filming in public never really gets easier. It's always awkward but you learn to just cope with it better over time. As for flying drones, If there is no sign saying otherwise it's fair game in my opinion. However, if you're really nervous about it you can try to check with the local visitors center and see if you need special permission or a permit.
Away With Wind I think you’re right, once toi get used to it you don’t feel hasukashii anymore 😂
Thank you!
@@miyufromparis she's trying to pull a fast one on you, she never flew her drone in Kusatsu, instead she decided to copy from a video that my friend and I made for the Kusatsu Tourism Association. Our video is called Kusatsu, My Favorite Things... see for yourself. Pretty much all the slick shots of Kusatsu, the quick timelapse transitions, the Yumomi demonstration (notice how the ladies are wearing different clothes) and all the drone shots inside and outside the city are from our video. It's a really cool video and I highly recommend watching it. I mean, it's so cool that she decided to steal parts of it and try to play it off as her own lol
i just want to know where was takumi delivering tufo
I'm sorry, I don't understand your question
@@leahbell15 it’s from initial d

Hi..!! I really loved your videos and i already subscribed you. Can u tell me more about gunma? Like how it looks like in winter and what are the bad things about it and what are good. Maybe some things price also if u can share.. i actually wanted to visit gunma so need a little bit information. If u can... You are the best.. if you cannot. No hate..... Still subscribed. Still watch your videos. Thanks ♥
I can't tell you too much about winter other than that it does get a lot of snow, which makes visiting the Onsens in the area all the better. Things can be a little pricey, especially in the more touristy part of town but if you walk a little further out of the city center you can find some mom & pop places that are much more affordable. Overall though there isn't much to complain about. It's a beautiful place and everything is really great. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. I'm happy to answer.
@@leahbell15 Haha it's ok now. I'm going Gunma nexy year for my Study. Will see the remaining stuff myself 😉 🙈
I just want to be a racer...
please try it

I do live here In Kusatsu and it’s boring.There’s Nothing to do here at all. Not a good place to eat,not a single shopping mall.
