— Attractions Introduction —
- Shaolin Mountain Bodhidharma Temple
The temple is home to the "Dharma Master" (Dharma is the founder of Zen Buddhism). The most famous thing in the temple is the colorful "Dharma Tumbler", which symbolizes hard work and the realization of wishes. Every year during the New Year, it attracts a large number of visitors to pray for career success, academic progress or the fulfillment of their wishes.
- Mizusawa Kannon Temple
Located near Ikaho Onsen in Gunma Prefecture, this ancient temple has a history of over 1,300 years. Its official name is "Gotokusan Mizusawa Temple", which mainly worships the eleven-faced Avalokitesvara. The main statue in the temple is listed as a secret Buddha and is only open to the public once every 33 years. When you come here, you may want to try the representative local cuisine of the Mizusawa area, "Mizusawa Udon", which is listed as one of the "three major udon noodles in Japan". Its characteristics are the hand-made chewy texture and simple but rich dipping sauce.
- Ikaho Onsen Stone Street
Ikaho Onsen Stone Street is located in Gunma Prefecture. It is a historic street leading to Ikaho Shrine. It is famous for its 365 stone steps, which symbolize peace and good fortune for 365 days a year. This is also the best place to experience the culture of Ikaho Onsen.
- Ikaho Shrine
Located at the top of Ikaho Onsen Stone Street in Gunma Prefecture, it has a history of more than a thousand years. It is dedicated to the gods of hot springs and medicine. It is an important place of faith for local residents and tourists to pray for good relationships, health and hot spring safety. After crossing the 365-step stone street, you will reach the shrine and overlook the entire Ikaho Onsen Street. It is a must-visit place for combining faith and sightseeing. In spring and autumn, it is a secret place for cherry blossom and maple viewing.
- Kajika Bridge (autumn leaves from late October to mid-November)
Kajika Bridge is located in the forest trail of Ikaho Onsen in Gunma Prefecture. It is a bright red arched wooden bridge that spans a clear stream and is surrounded by maple trees and nature. In autumn, the maple leaves turn red, and the vermilion bridge body and the red leaves on the mountain complement each other, making it the most classic maple viewing spot in Ikaho.
