[Gunma Prefecture] Ikaho Onsen, famous for its stone steps

I will introduce "Ikaho Onsen" in Gunma Prefecture. Ikaho Onsen has two types of hot springs, Golden Hot Spring and Silver Hot Spring, but it is the Golden Hot Spring that can be seen flowing in Ikaho Onsen's famous Stone Steps Street. These stone steps street have 365 steps, and at the top you will find Ikaho Shrine. Along the way there are restaurants and souvenir shops, and there are cafes on the side streets. A recommended cafe on the side street is "Rungo Coffee". This is a shop selling home-roasted coffee and ginger syrup, located after turning left at the 180th step. The coffee is fragrant and has latte art, making it a great place to take a break. Both eat-in and take-out are available, but we recommend the eat-in. At the bottom of the stone steps is "Osawaya", famous for Mizusawa udon. There is a line at lunchtime, so if you go a little later the wait time will be shorter. There is also a public bath in the stone steps street. That bath is Ishidan no Yu. Although it is located in Ishidan Street, it seems to be mostly locals and not many tourists. The quality of the spring water is good, so it's definitely worth a try. You can enjoy Ishidan Street on its own, but if you like hot springs, I recommend Ikaho Open-Air Bath, which is a short walk from Ishidan Street. This bath is fed by the Golden Hot Spring, and has both hot and lukewarm water. The changing rooms are simple and you can only take a bath, but you can relax surrounded by nature. If you visit Ikaho, be sure to take a stroll around the area. ⭐Rungo Coffee 66-6 Ikaho, Ikaho-cho, Shibukawa-shi, Gunma 377-0102 ⭐Mizusawa Udon Osawaya Ishidan Branch 45 Ikaho, Ikaho-cho, Shibukawa-shi, Gunma 377-0102 ⭐Ishidan no Yu 36 Ikaho, Ikaho-cho, Shibukawa-shi, Gunma 377-0102 ⭐Ikaho Open-air Bath 581 Ikaho Yumoto, Ikaho-cho, Shibukawa-shi, Gunma 377-0102 #FreeHongKongAirTicket #IkahoOnsen #IkahoOnsenStoneStairs
