Gunma Shibukawa City

Ikaho Onsen

An onsen town with a long history, even appearing in the Manyoshu, whose greatest charm is the atmosphere of Ishidan-gai, a street lined with ryokan, game arcades, and souvenir shops around a 365-step stone staircase. Visitors can wear a yukata and stroll casually up and down the steps while enjoying target shooting and snacking their way through town, offering a retro hot spring street experience that is uniquely Japanese and highly rated by overseas tourists. You can enjoy two types of spring water: the distinctive brownish Kogane no Yu and the colorless, clear Shirogane no Yu, and its easy access from Tokyo also helps make it a popular onsen destination.
