It’s a short walk from the parking lot and the scenery is beautiful. If you look carefully you will see huge colorful spiders.

Came on a weekday and there was barely anyone around!! Super beautiful & magical. But the area is quite small, it’s about a 15 minute walk around then down to the bridge. But there seems to be a few hike trails so you can explore further if you’d like. Much more beautiful in person, sunny day, autumn leaves falling 🍂

Lovely gorge. You can walk along the path next to the road and explore the side detours like Yamba Dam and various bridges. In autumn, there is a kan-etsu bus that runs the route from Iwashima Station to Yamba Dam with stops along the way (300 yen per trip). Stopped by the roadside station to dip in the public onsen as well.

Stunning gorge with water that looks almost jelly-like in color.

If you're in the area already it's worth a stop. It's quite lovely. We were heading to the Snow Monkey Park and wanted to get there as early as possible (since in the late afternoon the monkeys leave the park) so we just had a quick visit to the gorge. But I would have loved to stay longer and hike a bit more.

Beautiful waterfall and landscapes. Red leaf not yet in full , probably even more stunning after a week or two. Please be reminded if you drive certain section is prohibited and only allow walking through .

(Translated by Google) There is a tourist information center near the entrance to Iwahashi Castle, and there are pamphlets available, so be sure to grab one before heading to the castle. I knew there was a lot to see, but unfortunately there was thunder and the weather looked like it was going to turn bad, so I hurried to see all the way to the main enclosure. The castle ruins are full of highlights such as the earthworks of Kuruwa, the ruins of the turret, the moat, and the horikiri. Although it is not large in size, it is the ruins of the castle where Masayuki Sanada tried to bring Katsuyori Takeda and plan to start the castle. Also, there are many benches, so it was a castle ruin that I would like to visit on a nice day. (Original) 岩櫃城の入口近く観光案内所があり、パンフレットが置いてあるので、入手して登城しましょう。見所が有るのは分かっていましたが、生憎と雷が鳴り響き天気が崩れそうでしたので、本丸までを急ぎ足で見学しました。城跡は、曲輪の土塁、櫓跡、堀、堀切など見所が満載です。規模は大きく無いですが、流石、真田昌幸が武田勝頼を向か入れ、巻き開始を計ろうとした城跡ですね。又、ベンチも沢山あるので天気の良い日に、見学しに来たいと思う城跡でした。

(Translated by Google) Iwabitsu Castle is one of the three strongest Takeda castles and a land with ties to the Sanada clan. While only a few remains are clearly visible today, the castle's layout makes it truly impregnable. The Agatsuma River and Mt. Iwabitsu serve as natural fortifications, and to reach Iwabitsu Castle, one must breach defensive structures such as Yanagisawa Castle and Tengu-no-maru. Below the main citadel are numerous central castles, water enclosures, and stepped enclosures, and vertical and horizontal moats strengthen the defenses. We also climbed Mt. Iwabitsu, and the natural fortifications became clear when we climbed. After descending the mountain, we stopped by the tourist information center and received a map of the castle's layout in preparation for our return climb in the fall. The staff at the tourist information center were also very kind and explained everything to us. Other attractions include the remains of Deurabuchi, a Sanada ninja, and Senryuin, the remains of the mansion where Sanada Masayuki briefly visited to welcome Takeda Katsuyori, making this a castle that history and castle enthusiasts will love. There are vending machines, so don't forget to make sure you have plenty of water before you start climbing. You'll be climbing up a vertical moat to the main enclosure, so it can be slippery. Be sure to choose the right shoes. Stay safe! (Original) 武田三堅城の一つ、真田氏縁の地、岩櫃城。 現在はっきりと分かる遺構は一部ですが、縄張りを見ると正に難攻不落。 吾妻川と岩櫃山を天然の要害とし、岩櫃城に至るまで柳沢城や天狗の丸といった防衛施設を突破しなくてはならない。 本丸下には中城や水曲輪、段曲輪を無数に配置、竪堀と横堀で防御を固めている。 岩櫃山も同時に登ってきましたが、登ると分かる天然要害。 下山後に観光案内所へ寄り秋に再登城する為縄張り図を頂きました。観光案内所のお父様方も優しく色々と説明して下さいます。 その他、真田氏の忍者でもある出浦渕跡や武田勝頼を迎える為に真田昌幸が短期で気付いた館跡の潜龍院跡等、歴史好き城郭マニアにはたまらん山城です。 自販機もあるので登山前の水分確認は忘れずに。 本丸まで竪堀を上がるので滑りやすくなってます。靴の選択を間違わないように。 ご安全に！

(Translated by Google) Visited on a clear day in June. The parking lot in front of the information center is large, but there is no shade in the hot season, so the inside of the car is like a sauna when you return. At the information center, you can get various tourist pamphlets about the area, and there are also vending machines. The toilets were also very well maintained. There are two routes to the Iwabitsu Castle ruins, the ridge route and the valley route. The ridge route was a little over 10 minutes (with a lot of elevation change) on the way there, and the valley route was about 5 minutes (easy to walk on). This is a bear habitat, so it is recommended to bring a bear bell. If you wear comfortable shoes, there is almost no mud, but the grass is overgrown, so if you have sensitive skin, you may not be recommended to wear long sleeves and long pants. However, the mountain path is well maintained, and the scenery and mountain appearance are quite beautiful. If you have the time and stamina, you can also go to Mt. Iwabitsu and enjoy mountain climbing. (Original) ６月の快晴時に訪問。 案内所手前にある駐車場は広いですが、暑い季節は木陰が無いので、車内は戻ってきた時にはサウナですね 案内所には近くの様々な観光パンフが手に入り、自販機もあります トイレもとても綺麗に整備されていました 岩櫃城跡までは2つのルートがあり、尾根ルートと沢ルートがあります 行きは尾根ルートで10分ちょっと（高低差多め）帰りは沢ルートで5分ほど（歩きやすい）でした 熊生息地域となってますので熊鈴などを持つ事を推奨です 靴は歩きやすい靴であればぬかるみはほとんどありませんでしたが、草が生い茂ってるので、長袖、長ズボンでないと肌の弱い人はよろしくないかも知れません ですが山道は整備されてますし、景色や山の様子は中々美しいです 時間と体力がある方は岩櫃山方面もそのまま行けるので登山も楽しめます

During the Nanboku-cho period (1336-1392), the castle was ruled by Azuma Taro Yukimori. In 1563 during the Sengoku period, Iwabitsu Castle, the main castle of Saito Echizen no Kami Norihiro, fell to Honda Yukitsuna, a vassal of Takeda Shingen. It served as a castle for the Takeda and Sanada clans, but was destroyed in 1616 under the "One Castle per Province" order. Iwabitsu Castle was built on the eastern side of Mt. Iwabitsu's mountainside, with the eastern edge of the area considered to be Banshozaka and the western edge 400m from the main castle. The fortified areas, including the main castle and Nakagusuku, are said to have natural walls formed by the Kirisawa Valley on the south side and the slopes at the foot of the mountain.

(Translated by Google) There's been news about bear sightings all over the place, but the information center said it was closer, so I decided to go up. It was the day after a rainy day, so the mountain path was quite slippery, but I finally made it to the main castle after panting... Wow, it doesn't seem so close at all... I thought, but I guess to the locals it's just a quick stroll. As a fan of Ikenami Shotaro's Sanada Taiheiki, this is a sacred place I can't help but visit, and it was quite moving to think about how people lived in such a place. Now that I've visited Ueda Castle🏯, Numata Castle🏯, the ruins of Naguri Castle, and the ruins of Matsushiro Castle, I'd like to try Toishi and Kasugayama next♪ (Original) 世間では熊さん🐻出没のニュースが流れてますが、案内所の方が近くだよー、と言うので登ってみた。 雨の☂️翌日だったので山道は結構滑る感じながら、息を切らし続けてやっと本丸に辿り着けた… おいおい、全然近くじゃないよう… と思ったけど、近所の人からしたら軽いお散歩程度なんだろな さて、池波正太郎の真田太平記愛読者としては来ずにはいられない聖地な訳ですが、こんな所でよく暮らしていたなぁ と感慨深いものがありました 上田城🏯、沼田城🏯、名胡桃城址、松代城址と一通り巡れたので、次は砥石、春日山辺りに行ってみたいと思います♪

(Translated by Google) It takes about 15 minutes from the parking lot. After climbing, you will arrive at the remains of the main castle. The difficulty level is just right for getting some exercise. I saw some people who looked like they were hiking. Iwabitsu... Just from the name, it sounds like a castle that would be difficult to attack, and it's cool. (Original) 駐車場から15分くらいか？登ると本丸跡に着きます。日頃の運動不足解消に丁度よい難易度。登山ぽい人もチラホラ見かけました。岩櫃…名前からして攻めあぐねそうな城でかっこよい。

(Translated by Google) One theory is that Azuma Taro Yukimori built the castle, and later the Saito clan became its lord. During the Sengoku period, the Saito clan, who sided with the Uesugi clan, and the Sanada clan, who sided with the Takeda clan, fought over it, eventually losing it to the Sanada clan and abandoning it in the early Edo period. It's a nationally designated historic site. From Hirasawaguchi, follow the ridge course. Climbing through the dense cedar forest, you'll hear the Japanese bush warblers calling out "Come on, come on." Continuing on, you'll see a sign at a fork in the road that reads "The Site of the Main Citadel." With a bit of fortitude, you'll arrive at the site of the main citadel. Your eyes will be captivated by the numerous remarkable remains, even more so than you'd heard. The vast site of the main citadel features a gazebo, information boards, and signposts. Oak trees and other trees grow here and there, and a particularly huge fir stands tall, but for some reason, it's dead. At the height of autumn, the views to the south and north of the main citadel are burned into your memory. (Original) 吾妻太郎行盛が築城したとの説があり、後には斎藤氏が城主に…。戦国期に上杉方の斎藤氏と武田方の真田氏が争奪戦を演じた挙句、真田氏の手に落ち、江戸初期に廃城となる。国指定史跡。平沢口から尾根コースを辿る。鬱蒼としたスギ林を上り「ちょっとこい、ちょっとこい｣と鳴くコジュケイの声を耳にし、さらに進んで、分岐点の「本丸址｣の立札を見て、ひと踏ん張りで本丸跡に到着。聞きしに勝る数々の顕著な遺構に、目が釘付けになる。広い本丸跡には東屋、説明板、標柱があり、コナラなどがあっちこっちに好き勝手に生えていて、ひときわ巨大なモミが聳え立っているが、どうしたわけか枯れている。秋たけなわの本丸跡で、南側と北側の眺望をまぶたの裏にしっかりと焼き付ける…。

Very large and open. Really peaceful!

Lots of parking space, very clean bathrooms, nice little onsen next door and overall just a great roadside station.

No smoking area but lunch was good

Small shop and a small self service café. Outdoor foot hot spring in the park relaxing. Pokéstops and a Pokémon gym there.

It's wonderful place for visiters by car and motorcycles. There are many fascinating foods, souvenirs or something.

Have free toilets and drinking water for traveller enroute to Onsen

Waw waw super very good food & hot springs Places parking

Beautiful. nobody was there and we got to experience a deeper understanding of Japanese culture.

(Translated by Google) I learned about this tree on a trip in June a dozen years ago. I only saw it from the sidelines while driving, so I didn't know the name or location of this tree. A few years later, I happened to be featured on a travel program and found out the name and location, and I wanted to go there right away, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, I couldn't go, so I was finally able to go the other day. With its quiet appearance, it felt like an entrance to the world of Totoro. I'm overwhelmed with emotion. (Original) 十数年前の６月に旅先でこの木を知りました。ただ運転中の横目で見えただけでしたので、この木の名前も場所もわかりませんでした。数年後偶然旅番組で紹介され名前と場所が解り、すぐに出かけたかったのですが、コロナ禍で行けなくなり、やっと先日行くことができました。静かな佇まいでトトロの世界の入口みたいでした。感無量です。

(Translated by Google) An old cedar tree on the grounds of Totto Shrine along National Route 145 in Yagura, Higashiazuma Town. Because there is a cedar tree that is about 250 years old inside the hollow, it is also called the parent-child cedar tree. It is said that the giant tree on the outside was hand-planted in this area by Yamato Takeru no Mikoto long ago during his conquest of Toi, and is estimated to be 1,400 years old. This is just a legend, and the exact age of the tree is unknown. In 1742 (Kanpo 2), a traveler heading to Kusatsu lit a bonfire inside a large cedar tree, which caused a fire. He escaped death from the fire, but was left half-dead. During the Tenmei eruption of Mt. Asama in 1783 (Tenmei 3), Osugi was engulfed by a large amount of lava flow and most of it was burned to death. The chief priest of Ryutoku-ji Temple at the time, Enshin Osho, cut off the top of the large cedar tree at the risk of his own safety and said, ``I want to preserve it for posterity.'' Afterwards, local Burakumin at the time tried to plant cedar saplings in the hollow several times, but they died. After much trial and error, it is said that it took root by transporting black soil from the Sasahara Plateau by horse and planting cedar saplings higher than the outer bark. The world's first expansion project in 1996 (Heisei 8) of the national highway? I wonder if it's fair to call it an unprecedented, state-of-the-art technology.After the Jindai cedar was separated into front and back sections during the relocation work, the outer skin of the large cedar was transferred to the cedar at the rear while being fixed with steel blocks. The old small cedar that was inside the cavity was cut down. Some of the fallen roots are still kept in the worship hall of the shrine. Additionally, the current Kosugi tree is the second generation, and the tree is in good shape with no problems and the top of the tree is overgrown. However, a few years ago, the upper part of the tree was brutally cut down, leaving it in a completely changed shape, and it is a shame that there is no trace of what it once was. (Original) 東吾妻町矢倉、国道145号線沿いの鳥頭(とっとう)神社境内にある杉の古木。空洞内に、樹齢250年位の杉がある事から別名親子杉とも言われている。外皮部分の巨木はその大昔、日本武尊(ヤマトタケルノミコト)が 東夷征伐の途中、この地にお手植えしたと言われており、推定樹齢1400年とされている。これはあくまで伝承であり、正確な実樹齢は不明。 1742年(寛保2年)草津へ向かう旅人が、大杉の空洞内にて焚火を炊いたことが原因で引火。焼死は免れたが半枯の状態に。1783年(天明3年)に発生した浅間山の天明大噴火により、流出した大量の溶岩流に飲み込まれ大部分が炎上する形で大杉は焼死。当時の龍徳寺住職円心和尚は、自ら身の危険を冒し「後世に残さん」と大杉の上部を切断。その後、当時の地元部落民により空洞内に杉苗を幾度となく植栽を試みるが枯死。試行錯誤の末、笹原台地の黒土を馬で運搬し、外皮より高い杉苗を植栽した事により根付いたとされる。 1996年(平成8年)の国道拡張工事により、世界初？類を見ない最先端技術と称してもいいのだろうか、神代杉外移設工事により前後に分断した後、鉄骨ブロックで固定しながら大杉の外皮は後部にある杉に移転。空洞内にあった旧小杉は伐採。その伐根の一部が、現在も神社拝殿に保管されている。 又、現在の小杉は二代目で、頭頂部は生い茂る位に樹勢も問題無く旺盛な姿であった。しかし、数年前に上部が無惨にも伐採されてしまい変わり果てた姿となり、当時の面影が無くなったのが残念。

(Translated by Google) On the way to my destination, I saw a very thick and large tree😳! ! I really wanted to see it because it was enshrined there, so I headed back down the road. There is another cedar in the big cedar cavity! ! This is my first time seeing something like this 🤯 In the back are [Chikaraishi] two stones, 98 kg and 47 kg ✨ A towering sacred tree✨I felt power when I touched it. I happened to be passing by and felt like I received a tremendous amount of power✨✨ (Original) 目的地に向かう途中であまりに太く大きな木が目に入りました😳！！ 祀られていたのでどうしても見たくて道を戻りました 大きな杉の空洞の中にまた杉が！！ こんなの初めて見ました🤯 奥には【力石】２つの石98キロと47キロの石✨ 真っ直ぐそびえ立つ一本の【御神木】✨触れてパワーをいただきました 偶然に通り掛かかりもの凄いパワーをいただけた気がしました✨✨

(Translated by Google) The old large cedar gawa has been preserved. There is a parking lot on the side street of the shrine. It seems that it was almost withered at the time of the Tenmei eruption, but the temple's chief priest somehow saved it by cutting off the top to protect it from mudslides in order to preserve it for future generations. Even after that, the parishioners apparently had a great deal of trouble growing cedar from inside this armor-like gawa. Although the road has been widened in recent years, this large cedar garden will continue to be loved by the local community. By the way, one of the highlights is that a new cedar sapling has been planted inside the stump of another cedar nearby. (Original) 昔の大杉のガワが保存されている。 神社の脇道に駐車場有り。 天明の大噴火時点ではほぼ枯れていたそうだが、後世に遺すために寺の住職が泥流から保護する為に上側を切り落としてどうにか守ったようだ。 その後もこの甲冑(かっちゅう)のようなガワの内側から杉を生やすのに氏子たちは相当な苦労をされたらしい。 近年も道路拡幅等も有りつつも、この大杉のガワは今後も地域に愛されながら遺されていく。 ちなみに、付近の別の杉の切り株の内側には、新たに杉の苗が植えられている点も見どころの1つだ。

(Translated by Google) A large cedar caught my eye and I passed by it before making a U-turn. I stopped by on the way! There are 50kg and 100kg weight stones that will make you want to lift them. I felt that it was a well-maintained and cherished shrine! (Original) 大きな杉に目を奪われ通り過ぎてからUターン。 道すがら立ち寄りました！ 約５０kgと100ｋｇの力石があり思わず持ち上げたくなります。 綺麗に整備してあり大切にされている神社だなと感じられました！

(Translated by Google) I thought it was an amazing cedar, and even if I passed it once, it was so thick that I wanted to go back and see it up close.It has a unique appearance that I have never seen before, and it is appropriate to describe it as an umbrella or roof, as only the outer trunk remains, and a new cedar has grown from the hollow part inside, 250 years ago, and the outer bark is 1,400 years old.Its appearance is truly bizarre. (Original) 凄い杉だと思った一度通り過ぎても戻って間近で見たいと思わせるバカ太い杉で、いたわる様に傘というか屋根というのが妥当なのか他に見たことも無い姿をしている、幹の外側だけが残り内側の空洞部分から新たな杉が出来て250年外皮部分は1400年、風貌誠に奇っ怪である。

(Translated by Google) Visited on 2025.06.02 We arrived at the parking lot at the trailhead of Mt. Asamagakure around 9:30, and there were five cars ahead of us. We walked down the road about 100m to the trailhead and started climbing. At first, we walked along a slightly sloping trail covered with fresh greenery. Azaleas were blooming here and there, and it was very beautiful. The main trail was a ridge path covered with forests and trees. At the end, the view finally opened up and we could see the surrounding scenery. From there, it took about 5 minutes to reach the summit. The peak of Mt. Asama was hidden by clouds and we couldn't see it, but we could enjoy the majestic mountain scenery. The summit was not very wide, and there were a few trees, so there was no 360-degree view. There was only one white stone chair, so I thought we needed a seat to rest. On the way down, there were many steep sections with small stones, so we had to be careful not to slip. (Original) 2025.06.02 訪問 浅間隠山登山口駐車場に9時半頃到着、先客は5台。 登山口まで車道を100m位下り、登山開始しました。 最初は、新緑の草木の生い茂ったちょっと斜度のある登山道を、九十九折に進みました。 ツツジがあちらこちらに咲いていて、とても綺麗でした。 樹林帯や木々におおわれた尾根道が、中心の登山道でした。 最後の方でやっと視界が開け、周りの景色を見ることができました。 そこから5分位で山頂に到着しました。 浅間山は、頂上付近が雲に隠れ見ることができませんでしたが、雄大な山々の景観を楽しむことができました。 山頂はさほど広くはなく、少し木々が有るため360度の景観は有りませんでした。 白い石の椅子がひとつ有るだけだったので、休憩するにはシートが必要だと思いました。 下山は、細かい石の斜度のある場所が多いので、滑らない様に注意が必要だと思いました。

(Translated by Google) Although it's one of Japan's 200 famous mountains, it's relatively easy to climb. It takes about three hours even if you take two small peaks nearby. From the summit, you can see Mount Asama and other peaks, and the views are spectacular. (Original) 日本二百名山であるが比較的簡単に登れる ルート付近にある２つの小Peakを経由しても3時間程度 山頂から浅間山等が望め、眺望良し

(Translated by Google) Visited on March 21st. For winter mountain beginners. There was about 30cm of snow, but we were able to get through it in 90 minutes, as per the course time. The parking lot on the Nizukami Pass side can accommodate about 10 cars, but it is full. It's surprisingly popular and crowded even on weekdays. There is no mailbox for submitting mountain climbing notifications, so it might be a good idea to submit them using an app. Even though it was snowing, I forgot my sunglasses and cushion... But the view from the top was spectacular! (Original) 3/21来訪。冬山初心者向け。30cmほどの積雪がありましたがコースタイム通りの90分で踏破できました。 二度上峠側の駐車場は10台くらいおけますが満車。平日でも意外と人気で人が多いですね。 登山届を出すポストはないのでアプリ等で提出しておくのがいいかも？ 積雪があるにも関わらずサングラスと座布団を忘れてしまった… でも頂上からの眺めは絶景だった！

(Translated by Google) I climbed the mountain from the Nidokami Pass entrance in mid-September 2025. There was a parking lot and a portable toilet at the trailhead. If the parking lot is full, there is a wide road at the trailhead where several cars can be parked. The standard time is 1 hour 30 minutes, but I climbed slowly, taking 1 hour 50 minutes. The climb was zigzag, so I was able to climb at a leisurely pace without getting tired. Unfortunately, there were clouds so the view was not good. I also climbed the mountain from the Asamagakure Onsenkyo trailhead about 10 years ago, but this trail is much tougher. I think it's an easy mountain to climb. (Original) 2025.9月中旬二度上峠口から登山。登山口には駐車場があり簡易トイレも有りました。満車の場合は登山口にも道路が広くなっていますので数台は停められます。標準タイムは１時間３０分ですが１時間50分掛けてユックリ登りました。ジグザグ登りなので疲れる事無く気楽に登る事が出来ました。生憎雲だったので眺望はダメでした。 １０年位前に浅間隠温泉郷登山口から登山したことも有りますがコチラの登山道の方がキツイです。 手軽に登れる山だと思います。

(Translated by Google) Climbed on April 30, 2025. It is one of Japan's 200 famous mountains and Gunma's 100 famous mountains. The route was easy to follow and the scenery was spectacular. The weather was good and we could even see Mt. Fuji. Less than 4 hours round trip. It seems to be a popular mountain, so I arrived at 10am and couldn't park in the first parking lot, so I parked in the second parking lot. Tour buses also come during the high season. The second parking lot has a step, so please be careful as regular cars may scrape underneath. (Original) 2025.4.30に登りました。 日本200名山、群馬100名山の一つです。 ルートも分かりやすく、景色も最高でした。天気も良くうっすら富士山も見えました。 往復で4時間弱。人気の山のようで、10時着で、第１駐車場には停められず、第2駐車場に停めました。ハイシーズンは観光バスも来るとか。第2駐車場は段差があり、普通車だと下を擦る可能性があるので気を付けて下さい。

(Translated by Google) It took about an hour to climb one way. I went there around 6am, but one person had already climbed up. The view from the summit is great, so next time I'd like to go and see the sunrise. It was around mid-May, but there were many flower buds, so it looks like they will bloom soon. (Original) 片道1時間位で登れました。朝6時くらいに行きましたが、すでにお一人登られていました。山頂の景色がいいので今度は朝日を見に行きたいと思います。 5月中旬頃でしたが花の蕾がたくさんあったのでもう少ししたら咲きそうでした。

(Translated by Google) I parked my car at the Asamagakureyama trailhead parking lot and climbed Mt. Asamagakure, when the Rengeshouma flowers bloom, near the end of the summer holidays. I usually go to Mt. Mitake in Okutama to see the Rengeshouma flowers, but this time I went to Mt. Asamagakure. The Rengeshouma flowers on Mt. Asamagakure are all beautiful. Rengeshouma flowers grow in clusters near the trailhead along the Naganohara-Kurabuchi Line on Prefectural Route 54, and on the uphill switchbacks not far from the start of the trail. It had been raining until the early hours of the morning, so it was extremely humid, and the view was obscured by the fog, but I was able to enjoy the flowers. I also noticed that there was no triangulation point, and it turned out that the stone lying on the summit was the triangulation point stone. I had left my luggage there thinking it was a bench, so excuse me. (Original) 夏休みも終わりころのレンゲショウマの咲く時期に、浅間隠山登山口駐車場に車を止めて浅間隠山に登りました。例年は奥多摩の御岳山へレンゲショウマを見に行く事が多いのですが、今回は浅間隠山に行きました。浅間隠山のレンゲショウマは美人さん揃いです。 レンゲショウマは、県道54号の長野原倉渕線沿いの登山口近くと、登山道を登り始めて割とすぐのスイッチバックの上り坂の辺りに群生があります。 朝方まで雨が降っていた模様で猛烈な湿度で、おまけにガスで眺望もないですが、花を楽しめました。 また、三角点がないなと思っていたら、山頂に横たわっていた石が三角点の石だった。 ベンチ代わりの石かと思って荷物を置いていました、失礼。

(Translated by Google) If you need a castle seal from Iwabitsu Castle, I think you should stop by here. Since the castle is a mountain castle, it doesn't show up well on the car navigation screen, so please give us detailed directions on how to get there. Since it's a Jr station, it might be a good place to take a break, so please take a look. (Original) 岩びつ城の御城印が必要な方は、こちらに寄る必要があると思います。 お城が山城なのでカーナビ画面にうまく反映しません、行き方を丁寧にお教えていただけます。 Jrの駅なのでひとやすみするために良い場所かもしれませんのでよって見てください。

(Translated by Google) You can pick delicious strawberries where you can see Mt. Iwabisu. I ended up posting the same photo over and over again because I wasn't used to it. Sorry 😢⤵⤵ There are other similar mistakes. Please forgive me. 🙇 (Original) 岩櫃山が見える所で美味しいイチゴ狩りができます。慣れて無いもので何回も同じ写真を投稿してしまいました。すみません😢⤵⤵他にも同じミスが有ります。お許しください。🙇

(Translated by Google) Delicious strawberries made with spring water from Higashiazuma Town. (Original) 東吾妻町の湧水で作る美味しいイチゴです。

(Translated by Google) This is a system where you eat strawberries without adding anything. (Original) いちごに何も付けずに食べるシステムです

It is one of my favorite memories in my recent trip to Japan! The strawberries were very sweet and juicy. One of the rules is to eat all of those that you plucked, and do not touch the strawberry unless you intend to have it. I especially love the condensed milk, it is my first time eating strawberry with it. Perfect dessert. Thank you for the fun time and great rules!

I recently visited a strawberry farm, and while the fruit itself was decent, the overall experience left much to be desired. The farm’s rules were not clearly explained in English, which led to some confusion on my part. Unfortunately, instead of handling the situation with understanding, a staff member reprimanded me in a condescending and patronizing manner. The tone was unnecessarily harsh and felt out of place in Japan, where hospitality is usually a priority. A more polite and constructive approach would have made the visit far more enjoyable. As it stands, I left feeling unwelcome, which was disappointing.

Had the best strawberry picking experience here. As expected, the berries were bright red, juicy and sweet. I only ate about 30 but I wish to have eaten more. The farm itself is located in a charming craft village about 2.5-3 hrs away from Tokyo. Best to spend a night or two, but a daytrip is possible. Aside from the strawberry picking, the house itself has a cafe and is near other local shops specializing in crafts such as udon, paper masks etc. Don't worry if your Japanese is not good, the staff are very helpful and friendly. Google translate is your best friend.

A nice strawberry farm. Well organized and clean. They offer in farm self picking all you can eat Strawberry within 30 mins. Not sure I didn't go to this arrangement for long time (before COVID) or this place is really good but it is really good LoL

A very cool thing to enjoy with a strawberry smoothie! The young guys are great, they came up with a very tasty recipe for hot sandwiches with strawberries and mozzarella cheese, with strawberries and apples😋. High quality milk. BRAVO! 👍👏

Amazing!! So easy to get to, and so many strawberries!! The berries are fantastic—stellar even by japan’s high standards. They do have English speaking staff and there’s a bus from the station. I’ll definitely be back.

We can enjoy much! Close to “Michi no eki”.
