Great place to visit. Not too crowded area but has good tourism support infrastructure. Access is relatively easy to walk through with break areas and shops scattered along the way. Main area was being renovated at September 2024 so its view was limited but overall place and the walk still make it a beautiful place to visit.

Beautiful, serene and tranquil shrine in the mountains of Takasaki City. This shrine is really old and now undergoing major renovation works. It's still very much worth a visit if you're in the area.

It is a beautiful place! We loved the walk to the main building that you can see the waterfall along the way. Unfortunately, there are still ongoing preservation work at the main shire. Anyhow, the whole walk and surrounding scenery worth the visit. May 20025.

A very good place to visit for those who are looking for a solemn place to pray. It's my second time to visit this Shrine and it seems the construction is not yet finished so I can't rate it 5 stars. From Takasaki Station, we ride a bus and stop on the foot of the Shrine. When we arrived, there are remains of snow from the last day. It took us 15minutes to reach the Shrine since we enjoyed the scenery Haruna Shrine offers. The road is cemented, there are few sloppy stairs but it's not that hard to ascend. I've seen a shop where you can buy foods in case you've got a hungry stomach. For those who have cars, there is parking near the entrance of of the Shrine.

Not too touristy, 1,300 year old campus of shrines curved out on the side of mountains in Gunma Prefecture. Very somber, impressive buildings - not because they are foiled in gold or they have the record ranking size, but because they have quietly endured the time, and still existing. When I went there, it was the 2nd day of the New Year, and yet still, not too many people were there, daring the bitter cold air of the cedar woods and frozen water falls. I live in western NY, so I know cold - this place carried it's own winter bitter! True to the essence of Shintoism, even the smallest and the most eroded structures are still kept, tendered and their dieties are well respected. A little Cha-Ya (tea house) half way up the lane that's leading up to the main shrine, reminded me of how things were perhaps 1,000 years ago, treating those who have traveled days or weeks, or even month to get there, on foot. ( I'm pretty fit BUT their official "15 minutes to the top shrine" was a bit of a stretch - a handful of really old ladies in their 80- 90 something were walking with a cane, taking rest every few steps up a very steep stone starts) This place is famous for the plums. Their Plum Cake (Ume Manju) was very tasty, with a whole cooked plum inside, wrapped inside of not too sweet red bean paste.

A tranquil place with solemnity where you'll find a nice trail leading to a Japanese shrine of hundreds years old inside the mountain. Everything is so original without much artificial decoration. Lucky that not many foreign tourists (particularly.those from.mainland Chinese) know this place, the site remains quiet and one can really enjoy an escape of busy life here walking leisurely deep in mountain. Definitely a five star tourist site as of today.

The shrine area was magical. It felt like walking into a fairy-tale. Also, I highly recommend the hike from the shrine to Haruna lake. It is difficult, but the view over the lake is amazing.

Didn’t meet the full expectation but the lake is calm and serene. Lots of free parking. Lots of paddle boats. Lots of horses. Ropeway seems not worth it.

The best place as photo spot during autumn. If you love to take a drive, it’s the best place to take a break. Some local restaurant provides delicious foods and snacks. There are also a very large parking space around. You can also enjoy a horse/horse cart ride.

Locals are so nice and friendly here. Came for an afternoon by the lake and my car refused to start. Luckily, a local mechanic in a green Nissan happened to be nearby and offered to help. Slightly awkward, but got everything handled quickly. I never saw them again, but I’m grateful for their help. Minus a star thanks to cigarette ashes in the tofu at the nearby shop. Maybe he would’ve noticed if he’d actually looked.

The lake water was completely frozen. The snow is porous and soft, can create a snowman on the lake shore I like to see the lake in winter, it has a very special beauty

Nice, because not too busy! but beautiful!

Nice place for family visiting but don’t go at winter 🥲

Excellent . Colors of Autum leaves , beautiful lake and horse riding experience.

It was a very beautiful mountain ⛰️ where you can climb up by rope way! If the weather is fine, this place has wonderful scenery guaranteed! You’ll see Takasaki and Tokyo, and Mt. Fuji! Come and see the nice scenery of it! Cheers 🥂

I drove to Mount Haruna on Japanese Battleship Haruna's launch day in a rental R33 skyline. It was one of the best days of my life. 2024/12/14.

Mount Haruna offers easy access to stunning summit views via ropeway, with beautiful Lake Haruna in the foreground and distant cityscapes and mountains creating a picturesque panorama. This mountain is famously known as the tofu delivery route from the popular anime Initial D, adding some cultural significance to the natural beauty. The drive around Mount Haruna itself is delightful, passing lovely flower fields and areas where students enjoy nature and fresh mountain air. Taking the ropeway to the summit provides that perfect open-sky feeling and sense of freedom that makes mountain visits so refreshing. It’s a great stop if you’re traveling to Ikaho and want to add some scenic variety to your trip.

The drive up the mountain was a bit difficult for my friend's little car, but it was a really lovely area. Had a nice walk around.

If you see a kid in the white AE86 Trueno with some japanese writings on the right door early in the morning - don't try to race with him, you will not be satisfied by the outcome.

Aside from the fact that Initial D is my favorite anime. This journey and this hike up this mountain was one of the best hikes and journeys, I have ever done in my life. I started from Onogami station, and then made it all the way to the top of mount Haruna right as the sunset. Unfortunately the cable cars weren't operating at the time so i had to climb to the top after hiking all the way up myself. Anyone climbing or exploring around this area. This place is a must.

The closest major train station is takasaki, and if you don't wanna walk 30km to the top, there's a bus that goes all the way to the lake. The actual top is accessible by ropeway for a few hundred yen, and has a decent view. Around the lake is a little town, restaurants, horseback riding, hotel, and pedal boats you can rent. Quiet little place, I really enjoyed it.

Small local shrine at the top of the famous ‘365’ steps. Worth the visit if you’re in the area. There are many wonderful smaller details to look out for around the shrine and it has a good view of the town. It is also the start of a walk up the mountain.

The temple was rather OK, but what steal the show is the surrounding shops and village that has a lot of character and vibe. Some buildings are old and shut down, an old memory of the great economy times of the era. I felt nostalgic and trapped in time. It was great that I stopped over to see this place.

2023.04.07 A very small but nice shrine and even buying omori were self service.

Worth all the cold winds and the steps 👍🏼

Very serene small shrine at the top of the steps of Ikaho Onsen. It is worth a visit, there were nice sakura trees blooming when I was here. As it is not a peak time, there is minimal crowd, so it makes for a nice experience.

On top of the 365 steps really peaceful area in the morning shrine area was pretty

I went to Ikaho Shrine for the first time. It is in the place where I climbed the stone stairway. Scenery is splendid.

we climbed 365 stone steps, view from top is so beautiful. if you are initial D fans is recommended to go there to find the initial d scene. plenty of onsen here, 2 days 1 night trip is enough to cover the whole place.

A place if you need a great workout ! 365 steps to hike up but was too quiet to continue on my own to see the Onsen. So just visited the shrine n wander around the shops n lanes… shops are quaint n there are the 12 Chinese horoscopes plates embedded along the footpath. I took a break soaking my feet in the public foot bath

This is a cute stairway lined with shops of all kinds and providing incredible views of the surrounding mountains. There are 365 stairs to climb up, and lots of small details to discover along the way. Try not to get too caught up in taking photos, and use the opportunity to set your eyes on a distant horizon. Breathe deep.

This quaint onsen town was extremely pleasant and enjoyable. There were plenty of souvenir stores, and snack stores selling sweets and pastries. Some cafes also serve lunch and they are all just along the stone steps leading up. You can take the JR express bus from Shinjuku, or a local bus from Maebashie.

An interesting village where these stone steps were originally built to promote the area during the Edo period. Now a popular hot spring destination, it’s filled with shops and restaurants offering various local specialties. The steps also provide a lovely view over the village.

Entire area is really small, it can be done in 15-20 minutes. The only initial D thing is the drain cover at the bottom of the stairs & a poster higher up the stairs. I would not think it’s worth a day trip here on public transport but if you’re staying at the onsens it’s a really nice excursion.

Cool place to visit. Easy on tourists. Please support the businesses and buy delicious snacks! So many restaurants and cafes around. Please try it

It's like a castle floating in the sky!? Enjoy the spectacular views at the Taiwanese temple "Bukkouzan Hosui-ji" in Ikaho. Located on top of a mountain and offering spectacular views, the Rinzai sect temple "Bukkouzan Hosui-ji" is a popular tourist spot in Ikaho. At the top of the stairs, you can enjoy Taiwanese sweets and light meals at the main hall, draw fortunes, and participate in free copying of sutras and zazen. Why not take a stroll around the temple and enjoy the differences from Japanese temples?

Loved this Taiwan ‘s style temple. The view from the top of the hill, facing Gunma’s mountains is amazing. The monk kindly explained us the features of the temple. Being constructed in 2018, it is ♿️ accessible, with an elevator that allows all to reach the second floor.

A garden of inspiration. The temple is such a beautiful and peaceful place I can’t really put it into words - it is just one of those places you don’t want to skip on your way around shibukawa. Highly recommended temple.

Quiet space P/S : The door to the main hall is on the left side from the temple gate looking in. Can't go upstairs by stairs right in the middle of the temple

Amazing place and amazing view! They sell food and drinks too which was a nice surprise. Friendly monks we felt very welcomed.

A very relaxing place where you can also relax your mind.

Famous Buddhist temple from Taiwan. Great view,but you have to prepare in summer season,it’s too hot to endure.

You would not think much of it being in a corner of a market. But this place far far exceeded all of my expectations. Great torotoro curry.

Absolutely very good.. We surprised.. Delicious foods.. GARAMACHA Is best one.. But very hot in the shop.. I will come again.

(Translated by Google) As expected, curry at udon and soba restaurants is delicious. There is no mistake in that theory. The curry was sticky and had a lot of flour in it so that it would stick to the udon easily. I had the mild Japanese style, but it was not too spicy. The summer vegetables were a nice touch, and it added a nice touch to the flavor. I ordered a regular portion, but my friend who went with me ordered a large portion. When I tried it, I felt that the large portion was about normal. (Maybe it was a little too much.) I love udon and curry, so I'm picky about curry udon. The one here is so delicious that it's worth trying. (But it's expensive in a tourist area. I think there must be other things to eat for this price, but well, if I say that, I can't eat in a tourist area, so please take it as a voice in my heart.) I went there by motorcycle, so after parking my bike, I had to climb quite a few stone steps to get to the restaurant. If it's hot in the middle of summer, you'll be drenched in sweat, so be careful. (Original) やはり、うどん屋やそば屋のカレーは美味しですね。その定説に間違いはないです。うどんに絡みやすいように、粘り気があり、小麦粉を多めに入れたような粘りのあるカレーでした。私はマイルド和風を食べましたが、辛さはまぁまぁ。夏野菜がいい感じで、味にメリハリつけてます。私は普通盛りにしたのですが、一緒に行った友人は大盛。食べてみると、大盛りが普通くらいの感覚です。(若干多めって感じかな) 元々うどんもカレーも大好きなので、カレーうどんにはこだわりがあります。ここのは食べてみる価値があるくらい美味しいです。(が、いかんせん観光地値段で高いです これだけ出せば他のものもあるんじゃないかと思ってしまいますが、まぁそれを言ったら観光地で食事はできないので、心の声と思ってください。) バイクで行ったので、駐輪してからお店までは、石段を結構上がります。真夏で暑いと、汗だくになってしまいますので、要注意です。

(Translated by Google) I wanted to walk around Ishidan-gai and have a drink, but... There were no shops around... My eye was on Akagi Chicken Karaage... Not realizing it was a udon restaurant, I took a number and waited outside. (*^^*) I looked at the menu - ̗̀ 👀It's a udon restaurant, Well, they do have a la carte options... I ordered two Heartland beers and Akagi Chicken Karaage and a mini shrimp and maitake mushroom tempura bowl on my phone. The waiter was very nice. ε-(´∀｀;)ﾎｯ The fries, fried chicken, and mini shrimp and maitake mushroom bowl were all delicious.

(Translated by Google) Halfway up the stone steps, I was a little out of breath. I suddenly stopped. It doesn't feel like sightseeing, Without a clear goal of destination, However, today I was hoping that I could meet something warm somewhere. And what I found was this steam. Steam slowly rises from inside the white bowl. It's not cold on a spring afternoon. But for some reason, the steam felt deep inside my chest. The spiciness of the keema quietly permeates your tongue. The aroma of maitake mushrooms fills your nose. Fried paprika and zucchini It's as if the colors are speaking to you, Sweet potatoes and carrots are slightly nostalgic. The moment you think something is delicious while traveling, It's not just the taste, Air, light, sound, and even your current body temperature. I think it's like everything is wrapped up in one. That's why, This bowl is not just “just curry udon”, It will become a “memory that can only be enjoyed here and now.” Beyond the steam, The trouble in my heart that I was wearing every day, It unraveled without a sound. (Original) 石段街の途中、少し息があがって、 ふと立ち止まった。 観光というほどの気負いもなく、 目的地という明確なゴールも持たず、 ただ今日は、どこかで“あたたかいもの”に会えたらいいなと思っていた。 そして見つけたのが、この湯気だった。 白い器の中から、ゆらゆらと立ちのぼる蒸気。 春の午後、寒いわけじゃない。 でもその湯気は、なぜか胸の奥のほうに触れてきた。 キーマの辛さが、静かに舌に染みわたり、 舞茸の香ばしさがふっと鼻を抜ける。 揚げられたパプリカやズッキーニは、 まるで色彩で語りかけてくるようで、 サツマイモとにんじんは、ほんのりと懐かしい。 旅先で何かを「美味しい」と思う瞬間、 それは味だけじゃなく、 空気や光や音や、そして今の自分の体温までもが 全部まるごと一つに包まれているようなものだと思う。 だからこそ、 この一杯が“ただのカレーうどん”ではなく、 “今ここでしか食べられない記憶”になっていくのだろう。 湯気の向こうで、 日頃まとっていた心の蟠（わだかま）りが、 音もなくほどけていった。

(Translated by Google) August 17, 2025, around 12:30 PM I ordered a large portion of curry udon and rice. The menu said "Gara Macha." The restaurant was recently renovated and is now very clean. You order by scanning the QR code on the table and choosing from the menu. This is smartphone-only. You can also call a staff member and they will recommend ordering via the QR code. Thoughts on the Food The udon was soft and the curry was just spicy, so I ordered a large portion, but the portion was small, so it seemed to be aimed at women with smaller appetites. The curry was thick, reminiscent of European curry. In my personal opinion, the curry lacked depth; it was just spicy. My choice was a mistake. There are value sets on the menu, but it's best to check to see if they're really worth it. It might be better to order multiple individual items. (Original) 2025.8.17.午後12時半頃 カレーうどん大盛りとご飯を注文 メニューでは、ガラマーチャとかかれています。 お店は最近改装されて小綺麗になっています。 注文は机の上にあるQRコードを読み取り自分でメニューから選んでいくスタイル。 スマホ限定です。店員に声をかけてもQRコードからの注文をすすめられます。 料理の感想 うどんは柔らかくカレーはただ辛いで大盛りを頼みましたが量は少なめですので少食の女性を対象とされている感じが読み取れました。 カレーにとろみがついており欧州カレーを思わせるような感じでした。 個人的な意見ですがカレーにコクは感じられませんでした、本当にただ辛いカレーでした。私の選択ミスです。 メニューにはお得セットがありますが本当にお得かどうか確認した方がよろしいです。単品を複数注文した方がいいかもです。

(Translated by Google) The appearance and service were good, but the curry was lightly salted and the udon noodles were not chewy. You could say that the light saltiness makes it a gentle flavor, but I don't think it's suitable for young people. I still regret not asking for some salt. The curry was spicy but not very rich, so it wasn't to my liking. (Original) 見た目とさーびすはいいが、カレーの塩味が薄く、うどんはコシがない。 塩味が薄いのは優しい味という言い方もできますが、若い人向けではないと思います。 「塩をください」と言えば良かったと未だに後悔。。 カレーのスパイスは効いてましたがコクがあまりなく、好みではありませんでした。

Not easy to find opening restaurants at night time in Ikaho closed to Ishidangai area.

Had a quick lunch here and opted to try the Mushroom & Cheese and Vegetable curry options out of the three choices presented as the Lunch menu is limited with no Ramen, Gyoza or other dishes available. Also no Coke or other drinks available apart from strictly menu items (Tea, Coffee, Water etc.). The Curry set was not too bad for around JPY 1500 including Salad, a slice of Orange and your drink choice. Food came simmering hot like molten curried lava, but the taste was a little sweet and good. Portion size was decent and the set wasn't bad overall. Staff were friendly, helpful and polite despite our very basic Japanese and the menu also being all in Japanese. Nice, cozy atmosphere with good music.

It was the only restaurant open late at night. Food was okay. Serving bowl was unnecessarily huge as serving was small. Cozy ambiance with jazz music playing in background. We heard sound of microwave oven so possibly how the food was prepared.

pancake is average, not the soft and thick one, taste light, relatively expensive

Best ramen I've ever had. The dumplings and coke are excellent too. Come here.

Great ramen and gyozo, some of the best I've had.

Best ramen I've ever had!

I was looking for Udon shop and I saw this restaurant. We went here for lunch and arrived past 12nn. As expected, there are a lot of people waiting. You need to get a number first. After almost an hour, our number got called. There are shoe lockers in the entrance and you need to wear slippers. The place is huge and there are tatami areas and western style table. You can choose your preference once you get your number. I saw some private rooms as well. The udon noodles taste good and there are few choices on the menu. There are course meals as well. There is a parking lot across the street.

Absolutely stunning building to eat in. Mizusawa Udon was chewy and delicious. They had some amazing dipping sauces for the cold Udon. The slow ground flat wheat noodles were also tasty and served with olive and salt like it was bread. Delicious tempura as well

Delicious udon noodles with tempura.

Has to be the best udon in the world

A beautiful restaurant. Cost performance is so-so.

Best cold udon noodles I've ever had. Their house specialty, a sesame dipping sauce is perfect!

This is definitely the spot for mizusawa udon. I need to go back and try some of the other various udon dishes.

Intimated restaurant by Mizusawa temple. You have numbers of noodle places there, it might be hard to find better place. A shop guy was so friendly. Dip sauce of fresh sesame was tasty and personally says, I loved egg roll. I’ve felt to come back there again.

The food is very wonderful. The owner is nice and speaks English. He is very friendly! Listen to his recommendations about the food. The cold saru udon is very delicious.

the texture is very special.. make sure u try the sauteed mushroom buy some udon home, it kept fresh for many days

Delicious udon and tempura

Extremely slow service.

I initially expected just a simple toy display, but this museum completely exceeded expectations with its detailed, professional curation. The collection spans multiple floors with incredible variety - toys from Japan’s cathode ray tube era when Astro Boy aired through the pre-smartphone period, complete with recreated game arcades, magazines, and snack areas that authentically capture different time periods. The second floor houses an impressive automotive collection featuring famous Japanese cars from the industry’s beginnings, racing cars, and even vehicles from Initial D, while the first floor includes British Mini models. Beyond the main exhibits, there’s an outdoor park with American movie-style posters, detailed military dioramas that war enthusiasts would love, and a European-style indoor cafe. This museum is far more diverse and engaging than it appears from outside - definitely a must-visit if you’re in Ikaho.

My son adored the car collection. If you’re Japanese, you’ll love the nostalgic games. It is bigger than it looks. You have stuff toy from all over the world. You see all the meiji and showa era entertainment toys and arcades. The shop also has good things in it. It’s also interactive at some points. It’s stairs and walking so bring your baby carrier. Someone scratched our car and ran away. The staff was so helpful and ensured that we were attended to.

This museum offers a wide variety of exhibits, including teddy bears, tin toys, and japanese retro items from the Showa era. You can even play traditional games like 射的 and スマートボール, and we really enjoyed painting キューピーちゃん. The collection also features a wide range of nostalgic cars, including rare classic models, and I ended up spending more time than expected, enjoying every moment until the end.

Lots of cool and interesting things to see… However, what originally brought me here were road signs advertising a “Chocolate Factory.” It turned out to be a tiny shop in a corner of the museum selling M&Ms and other pre-packaged candy. No chocolate is made here. Like I said, it ended up being a fun experience, but I can’t overlook the false advertising.

This place is really funny. The museum itself has a lot of stuff from dolls to teddy bears to Japanese WWE items and amazing cars. The items have no sense and you get a tiny little doll that you can paint yourself at the end of the visit. I have been there more than once and it's always a good time.

**American Family Visiting** Stopped here as part of my Initial D pilgrimage and did not disappoint. This museum has a very large collection of teddy bears, Japanese toys, mini cars and of course the Fujiwara Tofu shop facade with replica Trueno. Lots to see and do. Free parking onsite as well as bathrooms and a cafe. A must see for any Initial D fan.

Went here to see the Initial D setup. But was able to enjoy the whole place as it will take you on different time periods of japan. There was also a collection of different cars, teddy bears and a whole lot more relating to toys and cars. Overall, its worth trying to visit. Especially if youll be driving in Japan.

Turning wheels and ring the Bell is thing available at this 16th Kannon temple. Many believers came to pray and visiting. Large parking and many high quality udon shops near by.

This place is magical! Drove past the bend and saw stairs lighting up the temple. A super unexpected stop. Looks and feels like a video game, super zen

The principal image of Mizusawa Kannon (Mizusawa-dera) is the Kannon Bodhisattva who is believed to have saved Princess Ikaho, the third daughter of the local governor, from difficult situations many times. It has a history of over 1300 years, and it is said that offering incense will bring good luck in health, and ringing the bell will bring good fortune in terms of money😊😊

This place is freakin awesome! So many cool aspects of traditional Japanese culture here. And tons of beautiful nature, including a mountain hike behind the temples and shrine that go through a very serene forest. A word to the wise, though: If you are going to ride a bike up there, you can do it but it's definitely a challenge. About 6 km up often steep hills.

Beautiful ancient temple, come here, calm down and breathe the fresh air

To be honest, I can't really distinguish between a shrine and a temple, but it's a very eye-catching and beautiful architecture.

Beautiful old shrine, if you are lucky there is a very nice local markets on Saturdays

Its ok..

(Translated by Google) I stopped by for a walk while going to Ikaho Onsen. Pink flowers were blooming while the autumn leaves were turning beautiful red and yellow.

Their udon and tempura is very delicious! I like the tempura so much!

cold udon is great, but hot udon is just ok, recommend to take cold udon

Good udon! Tasty! You should try it.

(Translated by Google) We visited the restaurant just after noon on a weekday. The parking lot was almost full, so we thought we might not be able to get in right away, but we were able to get in easily. That's because the restaurant is incredibly spacious! 😆 The area we were guided to had about 30 four-person tables, as well as another large hall. Ordering is done via tablet. Set menus seem to be the norm, with prices varying depending on the number of maitake mushroom tempura and whether or not you order a small side dish. From December to March, they offer a limited-time menu featuring a warm udon noodle set. The udon was smooth and chewy, but not as firm as Sanuki udon. The tempura was lightly salty, but I would have liked some tempura condiments. 😅 We ordered the large portion, which was quite filling. If you're adding a variety of tempura, a regular size would probably be enough. I also ordered the seasonal fried sweet potato skewers, which were a delicious combination of taro and the sweet and spicy sauce. 😋 Some of the maitake mushroom tempura was over-fried, making it so crunchy that it hurt my mouth. 😣 This is local udon, and the restaurant is popular, so it's a great place to enjoy it while traveling. Thank you for the meal. 😋 (Original) 平日の12時過ぎに訪店しました。 駐車場は、ほぼ満車状態だったのですぐには入店出来ないかなっと思いましたが、あっさり入店出来ました。 それもそのはず、店内がめちゃくちゃ広いです😆 自分達が案内された場所は、4人掛けのテーブル席が30卓ほどある、また別の広間もあるようです。 注文は、タブレット式になります。 セットメニューが基本のようで、舞茸の天ぷらの数や、小鉢の有り無しで値段が違うようです。 12月から3月までは、期間限定メニューで温かいかけうどんのセットがありました。 うどんですが、ツルツルシコシコですが讃岐みたいな固さはありません。 天ぷらは、ほのかに塩味がついてますが、天ぷら用の薬味が欲しい所です😅 大盛りを頂きましたが、かなりのボリュームでした。天ぷらを色々つけていたら、並で充分だと思います。 別注で、旬の一品の揚げ串いもを頂きましたが、こちらは里芋を挙げた物に甘辛のタレが良くあっていて、美味しかったです😋 舞茸の天ぷらは、一部　揚がり過ぎているのかバリバリすぎて、口の中が痛くなりました😣 ご当地うどんで、人気のうどん屋さんなので、旅行先で頂く食事としてはいいと思います。 ごちそうさまでした😋

(Translated by Google) As one of the three great udon noodles in Japan, Gunma's Mizusawa udon has been served around Mizusawa-ji Temple (Mizusawa Kannon) near Ikaho Onsen, and is said to have a history of over 400 years. Unlike the udon you usually eat, it has clear white noodles, strong elasticity, and a good texture! The interior of Osawaya is very clean, and the staff are kind, polite, and helpful. There is a slight line even on weekdays, but they will guide you to your seat fairly quickly. Osawaya's Maitake mushroom tempura has received many positive reviews! It's so delicious that you can feel the original flavor and umami of the Maitake mushrooms! It's irresistible for tempura lovers. Also, Gunma's local snack "Shinkomochi" is filled with a gentle mitarashi dango-like paste, and the mochi itself is made of rice flour and is very chewy! It has a light texture, not too salty. I was satisfied with the rare dishes that can only be eaten in this area. If you are driving or traveling to Ikaho Onsen, Mt. Haruna, or Mizusawa Kannon, be sure to try Gunma's pride and joy, "Mizusawa udon"! (Original) 日本三大うどんの一つとして、群馬県の「水沢うどん」は、伊香保温泉近くの水澤寺（水澤観音）周辺で提供されており、歴史はなんと４００年以上とされています。 普段、食べているうどんとは異なり、透明感のある白い麺、強いコシ、のど越しの良さ！が特徴です。 ここ大澤屋さんは、とにかく店内が非常に綺麗で、店員さんが優しく丁寧、親切です。平日でも多少並びますが、割とスグに席へと案内してくれます。 口コミでも多く声が寄せられている大澤屋さんの舞茸の天ぷら！ とにかく“サック！サック！”で、舞茸本来の風味や旨味が感じられ、文句のつけようがない美味さです！ 天ぷら好きには、たまらない一品だと思います。 あと、群馬の郷土おやつ「しんこもち」優しいみたらし団子のようなあんで、お餅自体は米粉でできており、モチモチ！ではなく、あっさりとした食感です。 この地域でしか食べられない珍しいものなどで満足でした。 伊香保温泉、榛名山、水澤観音を目指してのドライブや、旅行などの場合は、ぜひ群馬県が誇る「水沢うどん」をご賞味してください！

(Translated by Google) This is a must-try udon dish when I visit Ikaho or Minakami. The noodles are smooth and glossy, with a firm texture. It's like Akita's Inaniwa udon, with a slightly less silky texture and a firmer texture instead. (I'm not a udon expert, so I apologize if I'm wrong.) I like to eat it with both the regular dashi broth and the sesame broth, comparing the two types. If you'd like to enjoy two different types of broths in the same way, choose the set that comes with two types of broth, or choose the sesame broth only. Regular broth dilutes as you eat, so many people add more as they go. The sesame broth surprisingly doesn't dilute at all, so you can savor the rich sesame flavor for a long time. It doesn't look like much at first glance, but it's actually quite filling when you eat it. The sieve the udon is served in is the opposite of a raised bottom. It seems surprisingly deep-fried. If you're not a fan of maitake mushroom tempura, this is a must-try! The thick, giant maitake mushrooms are deep-fried without shrinking, and the tempura batter is deep-fried just right, so they stay crispy even when you eat them slowly. Even on weekdays, at lunchtime, you'll often have to line up to park, and then wait to be seated. If you're a small group, you may be called ahead due to seating restrictions. You might want to try visiting during off-peak hours, or if you're a large group, you might want to let the staff know if you don't mind splitting up. Ordering is done via tablet, but the sign says, "If you don't know how to use it, you can also order directly from the staff."

(Translated by Google) Gourmet Tour in Ikaho About 17 minutes by car from Shibukawa Station!! "Osawaya Second Branch" @osawaya_ [Shop Introduction] This udon restaurant is perfect for a quick stop before heading to Ikaho Onsen! At this restaurant, you can enjoy Mizusawa udon, one of Japan's three great udon noodles! The menu includes the main dish, Zaru Udon, as well as dishes like Maitake Mushroom Tempura and Miso Oden. They also offer a variety of set menus, so you'll have a hard time deciding! lol The restaurant has two locations, the first and second, and they're not far apart. This time, I visited the second branch. The parking lot and restaurant are slightly smaller than the first branch. Also, please be careful when driving, as the parking space is narrow. However, due to the high traffic, parking is easy and quick. During peak hours, there are often long lines, so the second branch might be a better option. The restaurant is spacious, even for wheelchair users, with seating for approximately 200. The spacious seating allows for a relaxing meal. Ordering is done via the touch panel at your seat. This is the perfect place for anyone traveling to Gunma or wanting to try Mizusawa udon. Definitely give it a try! ────────────────── What I had (prices include tax): ・Kaede "Zaru Udon and 2 Maitake Mushroom Tempura" / ¥1485 ・[Limited Quantity] Sesame Soup (single item) / ¥330 ────────────────── Kaede "Zaru Udon and 2 Maitake Mushroom Tempura": Among the various combinations on the menu, I ordered the "Kaede" set, which includes Zaru Udon and two maitake mushroom tempura! It was incredibly smooth and chewy, and incredibly delicious. I was curious about the limited-edition "Sesame Soup," so I ordered an additional serving. It had a strong, rich sesame aroma. It's worth ordering as you can enjoy the contrast in flavor with the noodle soup. I was also surprised by how large the maitake mushroom tempura was! I was amazed at the skill with which they deep-fry such large maitake mushrooms until they were crispy. I highly recommend ordering them with udon noodles. They're so delicious, you'll be blown away! 🤣 [Seating Capacity] 200 [Parking] 35 [Business Hours] Monday-Wednesday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Saturday-Sunday: 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM Closed: Thursdays and Fridays [Wait Time] I arrived at 12:00 PM on Sunday. The wait was 10 minutes.

(Translated by Google) This restaurant was introduced on the Jomo Shimbun online. It's in a more remote location than I imagined, but customers come by car, so it's not a problem. As it is called "Aodakefumi", the noodles are excellent, and the bamboo shoots are also very good. I think it is a family-run business, but the staff are friendly and it is a pleasant place to eat. They asked me if I wanted a regular portion, but the portion was more than enough. The tsukemen ramen is quite large. I think everyone is a noodle eater. I wonder what the fillings are in the gyoza. I can taste the cabbage. If it were closer, I would like to visit this restaurant. The toilets are Japanese-style, so be careful if you have bad knees. (Original) 上毛新聞のネットで紹介されていたお店 想像以上に辺鄙な場所だが お客は車で来店するから問題ない 青竹踏みとあるだけに麺は秀逸、メンマもとてもよろしい。家族経営だと思うが愛想もよく気持ち良く食べられる 「普通盛りで良いか」聞かれたが 量も十分 つけラーメンはかなり多い みんな麺食いなのだと思う ギョーザは具はなんだろう キャベツの風味を感じる 近ければ通いたいお店 トイレは和式なので膝の悪い人は注意

(Translated by Google) This ramen shop is located deep in the mountains, just beyond a steep mountain path. ✔︎Menma Char Siu Ramen (1,100 yen) Soft, chewy noodles shaped like bamboo shoots in a classic soy sauce clear broth. Crunchy menma bamboo shoots cover the bowl, and a generous amount of hearty char siu sits underneath. This dish pairs well with pepper, so I change the flavor halfway through. Yup, it's delicious ♡ ✔︎Gyoza (450 yen) Crispy gyoza dumplings. The flavor was just average... It's usually crowded and requires a register, but it was apparently quiet today (according to a regular customer). I also tried the summer-only tsukemen (chilled sesame miso flavor), but this one really highlighted the deliciousness of the noodles. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 山奥にある秘境ラーメンで険しい山道を抜けた先にお店があります。 ✔︎メンマチャーシューメン(1,100円) 青竹ぶみのピロピロでモッチリ麺にクラシカルな醤油清湯スープ。 コリコリのメンマが丼を覆いその下には食べ応えのあるチャーシューが大量に乗る。 コレ系には胡椒が合うので途中で味変。 うん、旨いね♡ ✔︎ギョウザ(450円) パリッと焼けた餃子。 味は、まぁ普通かなぁ… 普段は混雑していて記帳制らしいんだけど今日は空いていたらしい(常連さん談) 夏季限定のつけラーメン(冷やゴマ味噌味)も食べたけど、此方の方が麺の美味しさが際立ち良かった。 ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) It's now a popular restaurant, attracting customers from other prefectures. Even on weekdays, there's a line at lunchtime, so the place is packed with die-hard fans. Watari-ya serves ramen made with handmade noodles made with green bamboo. The soups are all delicious, with soy sauce, miso, and salt, each with its own unique flavor. The miso is a slightly bitter red miso. Personally, I prefer the lighter salt. The bamboo shoots and char siu toppings are also homemade and original. This time, I ordered: Miso Ramen Bamboo shoots and char siu ramen Salted char siu Gyoza The gyoza are well-seasoned and packed with ingredients. They were piping hot, juicy, and delicious. The salted char siu is topped with chunks of pork and plenty of vegetables! It also comes with three thinly sliced slices of pork, making it a very filling meal. The parking lot is spacious, with both a parking lot in front of the store and another across the street. This is a great place to stop by on your way to Ikaho or Mizusawa, so why not try some local flavors? (Original) 今や他県からのお客さんが訪問する人気店ですねぇ 平日でもお昼になれば列ができるほどコアなファンで溢れます わたりやさんは青竹を使用した手作り麺のラーメンを提供 スープは醤油、味噌、塩とそれぞれ特徴があり美味しいです 味噌はちょっと苦味を感じる赤味噌タイプ 個人的にはあっさりした塩が好みです メンマ、チャーシューのトッピングも手作りでオリジナリティあります 今回注文したのは ・味噌ラーメン ・メンマチャーシューメン ・塩チャーシュー ・餃子 餃子は下味がしっかりしている具沢山のタイプ 熱々ジューシーで美味しかったです 塩チャーシューには、ぶつ切りのチャーシューと野菜がタップリ！ それに薄切りのチャーシューが3枚、とボリュームがありますよ 駐車場は店舗前と道を挟んだ場所と広め 伊香保や水沢へ行く途中に立ち寄れる場所なので、ローカルな味を試してみては

(Translated by Google) Hidden away on a side street off Mizusawa Udon Highway, I pop in every three or four years. It's always delicious. I arrived early on this day, and they opened around 11:15 AM. My palate cleanser was butterbur tsukudani (pickled butterbur) The salt ramen is packed with vegetables, sometimes even bamboo shoots and seaweed. On May 20th, it was ¥800, but it seems to have gone up to ¥1000. I love both the soup and the noodles. You can park your car in front of or across the street!

(Translated by Google) Visited August 15, 2025 I visited during the Obon holiday. I'd been here about eight years ago, so this was my first visit in a while. As with my previous visits, the restaurant was full by the time it opened. I ordered ramen, gyoza, and rice from the menu. The noodles were made with green bamboo and were chewy and delicious. They paired well with the soup, and the bamboo shoots and char siu were both delicious. There were plenty of toppings, and the ramen and bowl looked classic and beautiful. I'd like to visit again. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 2025.08.15 訪問 お盆休み中に訪問しました。 8年程前に来た事があり、久しぶりの再訪です。 以前もでしたが、今回も開店時間を少し過ぎた頃には満席となっていました。 メニューからラーメン、ギョウザ、ライスを注文。 麺は青竹ぶみとの事で、モチモチしていて美味しいです。スープとの相性も良く、メンマもチャーシューも美味しい。 具材も多めで、ラーメンの見た目も丼も王道な感じで美しいです。 また訪問したいと思います。 ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) Stepping on green bamboo? Is that a type of noodle? The flat noodles are light and very delicious. I saw the signboard and stopped by, and it was a big hit~🔥 A shop located in the mountains. I ended up going out of range on the way. Menma is also flavored and thin and easy to eat. I definitely want to eat it again. Are gyoza cabbage? It's a crunchy and satisfying gyoza. I visited at 14:00, and there were several people there. The parking lot was pretty full, so I thought there would be a line at noon. I want to eat it again. (Original) 青竹踏み？という麺なんですかね。 平打ち麺であっさりとっても美味しい。 看板を見かけてふらりと立ち寄ってみましたが大当たりでした〜🔥 山の方にあるお店。 途中圏外にもなりました。 メンマも味がついていて薄くて食べやすい。 必ずまた食べたい。 餃子はキャベツ？か、ザクザク食べ応えのある餃子です。 14:00に伺いましたが、人は何人かいました。 駐車場も割と埋まってて、昼時だと並びそうだなと思いました。 わ〜また食べたい。

We found ourselves facing a shortage of manpower, which made things a bit challenging. Navigating the area was particularly tricky for us as foreigners.

This a great petting farm to visit with the kids on a nice day. It can get expensive though with the fee to pet each animal at multiple stations though. My kids enjoyed it, so I guess the cost is irrelevant. Oh avoid the Game Center area, because once the kids gravitate towards that well, they will just want to stay there. I just tried to redirect their attention the best I could lol

Entrance tickets is ¥1500 (adult). There's vege for the animals for sale in the farm at ¥400/cup. Rabbit and guinea pig petting at ¥700/10mins. Quite pricey, and there wasn't much animals. Mostly sheeps and rabbits. Animals are quite well-managed tho! Clean!

Good place for kids but the opening hours are too short while the events and shows schedule are not frequent. In-door grill of beef is also good lunch. Worth to buy the combo.

It is not a very cheap place to visit, but I suppose it would be a fun way to spend time together, particularly if you have children. Parking is free but in addition to the entrance fee, every single attraction costs extra money. So if you have the time to visit every attraction, it may be worth it to invest in the all access pass. The ice cream and the moumou is deliciousness that is a must-have at this park. Walking the goats around is also pretty fun.

Came here on a kindergarten field trip. It was cute and my sons enjoyed it, but everything inside costs extra money - even the petting areas

Very beautiful in fall season, we had a wonderful day, you can enjoy a barbecue offer also

Amazing environment, reasonable price. I was very glad to see some artworks that I used to see a lot in the former Hara Museum in Tokyo, including Yoshitomo Nara’s little room. The cafe was good too, with ice cream made from the milk of the next door farm.

Quite remote but make it a quiet and peaceful place to visit. Some outdoor exhibits for snapshots. A small cafe selling lovely dessert.

Stunning! They could have more exhibitions tho. Price is 1100, no reservation required. I went during Golden Week and it’s not crowded. However, they meed to have better postcards option.

Interesting museum on beautiful grounds. Be warned that the price (1100yen) is quite expensive for the amount of art you'll get to see, and indoor photos aren't allowed either. The art that's there is amazing - I was shocked to have the museum to myself while seeing a Warhol, Lichtenstein, and a Kusama room! But for having such a spacious building, there should really be a couple more exhibits at least.

Branch of the Hara Museum in Tokyo, both focusing on contemporary art. The buildings are unassuming and blend nicely into the stunning location with views of Mout Akagi. Be aware that you have to pay at the gate just to even enter the grounds and make sure to keep your ticket with you. The art tends towards the conceptual, so perhaps not to everybody's taste, but with four modestly sized galleries, it's easy to spend just an hour or so here on your way to somewhere else or during bad weather. Great photo opportunities on the grounds and the cafe is good too!

Interesting art museum in the Shibukawa area of Gunma.

There are no much too see for 1800 yen

(Translated by Google) This lovely Western-style building is the hope of Ikaho's tourist attractions, with many of Takehisa Yumeji's works on display. The exterior and garden of the main building, Kurofunekan, are beautifully exciting, and the interior is furnished with many antique pieces of furniture, creating a very elegant atmosphere and a high level of taste. In the hall on the first floor of Kurofunekan, live performances of rare music boxes and pianos are held every hour, creating a dreamlike, extraordinary experience. The customer service attitude of the staff in the building was also particularly excellent. (Original) 素敵な洋館の中に竹久夢二の作品が多数展示されている伊香保の観光地のホープ。 本館の黒船館の外観、庭園も大変素晴らしく心躍るのに加え内装も多数のアンティークの家具で設えられとても高貴な雰囲気の空間になっており高いセンスを感じた。 黒船館一階のホールでは貴重なオルゴールやピアノの実演奏会が各時間開催されており、夢のような非日常の時間が流れる。 館内スタッフの方の接客態度も特筆して大変素晴らしかった。

(Translated by Google) The exhibits are wonderful, of course, but the moss-covered buildings and gardens are also wonderful. Also, the staff are very polite. If you are coming by car, be careful when driving, as you will have to enter from the prefectural road and go through a narrow, steep slope. (Original) 展示されてる作品はもちろん、こちらの建物や庭園の苔生した感じも素晴らしい。それとスタッフの方々の対応が丁寧なこともいいです。 車で行く際は、県道から入ると狭い急坂を通りますので走行注意です。

(Translated by Google) September 2025 I didn't know much about Takehisa Yumeji, but his work really shows his talent. The popular-looking letter text was also impressive. The gift shop is well-stocked. I also listened to a music box demonstration, but the explanation was a bit long and tedious... (Original) 2025.09 竹久夢二のことはあまり知りませんでしたが、作品を見ているととても才能を感じます。 モテそうな手紙文面も印象的。 売店が充実してます。 オルゴールの実演も聴きましたが、説明がちとくどくて長いかな。。。

(Translated by Google) I was able to see many of Yumeji's works in a tranquil setting. I wish the leaves had been a little more autumnal. (Original) 静粛の佇まいで夢二さんの作品をたくさん観ることが出来ました。もう少し紅葉が進んでいたら良かったと思いました。

(Translated by Google) I didn't know much about Takehisa Yumeji, other than his paintings, but I was so impressed by the exhibits, gardens, and the lighting and interior of the building, that before I knew it, two hours had passed. The sounds of the antique piano and music box were also incredibly soothing. This has become one of my favorite places. Thank you very much. (Original) 竹久夢二さんは絵を知っている程度であまり知識はありませんでしたが 展示物はもちろん、庭園や建物内の照明やインテリアも素晴らしく、気づいたら2時間ほど経っていました。 アンティークのピアノやオルゴールの音色も最高に癒されました。 とてもお気に入りの場所になりました。ありがとうございました。

(Translated by Google) I visited this place about a year ago and have always wanted to revisit it. This time, it wasn't during the winter, so I was able to visit the Children's Art Museum as well. (Apparently, Hyde also visited about three years ago.) I love the Baccarat chandelier in the main building (?) - it's very impressive. The last time I visited, there was a stove on, and the scent of the stove perfectly matched the atmosphere inside, making it a very memorable and great experience, so I wanted to come back again. The paintings by Takehisa Yumeji and the Taisho Romantic atmosphere are both wonderful, so I definitely recommend you go. I'd like to visit in the summer someday to see Kurofune-ya. (Original) 以前一年前ほどに伺い、ずっと再訪したかった場所です。 今回は冬季期間中ではなかったので、子ども絵の館も入れました。 （hydeさんも3年ほど前に来たことがあるらしいです） 本館（？）の中にあるバカラのシャンデリアがとても印象的で好きです。 前回伺った際はストーブが付いていて、中の空気感雰囲気とストーブの香りがマッチしてとても印象的でいい経験をできたので、また伺いたくて来ました。 竹久夢二さんの絵も、大正ロマンの空気感も、とても素敵なところですので、ぜひ行ってみてください。 いつか、黒船屋を見に夏にも伺いたいです。

This graceful Japanese-style bridge in Ikaho is quite beautiful, though smaller than Nikko’s Shinkyo Bridge. It has a classic, refined aesthetic that captures traditional Japanese architecture beautifully and makes for great photography.

I read the comments before coming and it really is a very small bridge. It looks crowded only because it’s such a small area. Very beautiful in autumn but maybe not worth coming just for this.

Stunning autumn folliage. We visited in early November evening after 5:30pm. Many people were enjoying the scenery during this time. The bridge is a 5-10mins stroll from the shrine on top of the Ikaho stone steps. Snacks and hot beverages are available near the bridge.

Ikaho's vermillion Kajika Bridge is a must-visit place in Autumn season in Gunma. This picturesque and stunning view is a perfect background for family portraits during autumn foliage. We went up here by car and there is a free parking space near the bridge. You need to be there before 10am because many cars lined up for this parking space. Some people chose to park on the municipal parking near Idaho stone steps starting point. But we’ve decided to go here first so it is not too crowded. Surprisingly, there’s a lot of people before 10am but we managed to take beautiful pictures. There is a restroom and a small coffee stall near the bridge. You can enjoy the colorful leaves up here. We went down taking the local road for cars and went directly to the starting point of Idaho stone steps. After reaching 365 steps, we walked back to Kajika bridge and went back to our car.

It was mid April when I came and so there is minimal crowd for this very popular bridge in autumn. One usually hike up from the stone steps to get here so recommend to also do the open air onsen if you come here post a hike! If you are only here for the IG post, the bridge is quite small so it won't be easy to picture when there is a crowd.

Having said to be one of the areas of inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" with Kajika Bridge being a reference point for the main red bridge depicted in the movie, you can clearly see why when visiting. Although not quite as picturesque as visiting in mid-Autumn, December/Jan is still an excellent time to visit Ikaho Onsen and Kajika Bridge. Well worth the trip up and also combining a visit to the local Onsen.

Photos spot, good time for Autumn 🍂

Magnificent view after a pleasant hill climb on a bike!

Stopped off this little spot after visiting Mt. Haruna. There are a few parking spaces and a wooden deck that provide a view of Shibukawa. No other facilities beyond the deck onsite. Gorgeous view though!

I was lucky to find this place while driving. Great view!

Yesterday I was driving back from my work at night, 3 am if I remember correctly, and it passed me at high speed and old white car, the last thing I saw was that it was a Toyota Ae86 and that on the leg it said "fujiwara tofu shop" 😦

Initial D scene

Nice spot to stop for a great view on the way up or down the mountain.

(Translated by Google) Judging from the gate, it has a profound feeling and is full of atmosphere 💡 The staff at the restaurant were polite and prompt, and I was able to enjoy my meal in a very good mood! An assortment of 5 types of tempura costs 1,500 yen (excluding tax), but it's piping hot and freshly fried, and it's a huge portion! I think it's a very reasonable price for a tourist spot 💡 Served with crispy soba noodles. It's a shame that the soba smells so bad💧 It felt a little powdery...💧 Even the green onions used as a condiment made me feel like I was working. Wasabi is also delicious. A small bowl of wild vegetables is also nice. Is it possible to have somen with soba soup? The taste was as gentle as I thought it would be 😊 Is it unsatisfactory for those who like strong flavors? It was just right for me 🎵 At lunch time, I was able to sit comfortably without lining up, and the food was served very quickly. I was impressed. Payment was by cash or PayPay. I thought it would be convenient to have more types of cashless payments 💡 (Original) 門構えからして、重厚感があり、雰囲気満点です💡 お店の方も丁寧に迅速にしていただき、とても良い気分で食事を楽しむ事が出来ました！ 天ぷらは5種盛り合わせで1,500円(税抜き)ですが、熱々の揚げたてで、このボリュームですから！ 観光地では、とても良心的価格だと思います💡 サクッともり蕎麦で絞めました。 蕎麦の香りは残念ですが💧 少し粉っぽさも感じましたが…💧 薬味のネギにも仕事をかんじられ。わさびも美味しい。 小鉢の山菜も嬉しいです。 蕎麦つゆが、そうめんでもいただけるのでは？と思う程、優しいお味でした😊 濃い味が好みの方には物足りないかな？私にはちょうど良かったです🎵 お昼時に、並ばずにすんなり席に座れて、料理等の提供もとても早くて、感心しました👏 お支払いは、現金かPayPayでした。もっと多種のキャッシュレス決済が出来ると便利かなと思いました💡

(Translated by Google) Although it wasn't Mizusawa udon, the soba and tempura were delicious. The number of cars that can be parked in the parking lot is small, so if you have a large number of people, it seems best to go in one car. (Original) 水沢うどんではありませんでしたが、お蕎麦も天ぷらも美味しかったです 駐車場の停められる台数が少ないので人数多い時は1台でまとまって行くのが良さそうです

(Translated by Google) All the restaurants in Ishidangai are crowded, but this one was empty, which was a relief. The atmosphere of the building is nice. As you can see, the menu doesn't have much variety. Also, I didn't have high expectations for the taste, but I think it tastes just right. In particular, I think it's better not to order the kamaage soba unless it's really a novelty. Self-serve soba tea is available. Please pay by cash or PayPay. I recommend it to people who want to relax in an empty restaurant. (Original) 石段街の飲食店はどこも混んでいますが、ここは空いてて助かりました。 建物の雰囲気はいいです。 メニューは見ての通りあまりバリエーションはありません。 また、味もそんなには期待しないで来てちょうどいい感じかと思います。特に釜揚げそばはホントに物珍しさ以外ではオーダーしない方がいいかと…。 そば茶がセルフでおいてあります。 お会計は現金かPayPay。 空いてる店でゆっくりしたい人にはオススメします。

(Translated by Google) The soba bamboo was delicious! (Original) 美味しく頂きました　そば　竹です！

(Translated by Google) Recommended for those who want to finish their meal quickly. The soba doesn't really taste like soba. The soup is a bit thin. The lady working there can be rude at times, which makes it funny, so I'll give it a 2 instead of a 1. (Original) さっさと食事を済ませたい方オススメ。 蕎麦はそば感があまりない。つゆは薄め。 店員のおばちゃんが時々失礼なのが一周回って面白くなったから1ではなく2にしておきます。

(Translated by Google) The atmosphere was nice and I was drawn to it! I stopped by for lunch before going to Kusatsu★ I went in 40 minutes before closing and it was empty, but when I looked around afterwards, it was crowded, so the timing was good (^ ^) I ordered warm Mizusawa udon! It was so delicious that I ate it with abandon. My parents got half of it with tempura, but the vegetables were excellent and everything was delicious! ! Since my daughter was there, I decided to use the tatami room! They even prepared plates for the kids! I will go again! ! (^^) (Original) 雰囲気も良くて惹かれました！草津に行く前にお昼ご飯で寄りました★ 閉店40分前に入り空いてましたがその後周りを見渡したら混んできたのでタイミング良かったです(^ ^) 水沢うどんの温かいのを頼みました！とても美味しく無我夢中で食べてしまいました 私の両親は、天ぷら付きにして半分頂きましたが野菜が立派でどれも美味しく最高でしたー！！ 娘が居たので座敷にしました！子供用の取り皿も用意してくれました！ また行きます！！(^^)

(Translated by Google) As I ate in this atmospheric building, I wondered if great people also ate like this. However, the udon here is not Mizusawa udon, but their original udon. It was a bit of a disappointment. It's tempura, but I think it has a little bit more batter. I love eating shrimp tails, and while I appreciate the shrimp tails being fried with the tails open, I enjoyed the crispy texture of the fried shrimp without the batter, but it turned out to be disappointing. This is the reason for the star ⭐️⭐️⭐️. (Original) 情緒ある建物の中で食事をしていると、偉人達もこんな感じで食していたのかなぁ〜と ただここの うどんは水沢うどんでは無くオリジナルうどんだそうです。 少しイヤかなりの残念な感じでした。 天麩羅ですが、少し衣が多いと思います 海老の尻尾を好きで食べるのですが、尻尾を開いて揚げてあるのは高評価ですが、衣は無い方がカラッと揚がりサクサクの食感が楽しるのに残念な状態になってました。 星⭐️⭐️⭐️の理由です。

(Translated by Google) It seems to be famous for its large portions, but at this price It is said that he has stopped No, it's a really large restaurant. Serving piping hot, freshly prepared food to the whole group is a true pro. I'm too busy and lazy, but it's delicious. I can't help it The smell of curry slices before you enter (Original) デカ盛りで有名らしいがこの物価で やめているとのこと いやいやしっかり大盛りのお店だ 熱々の作りたての料理がグループ全員にサッと出るところは流石のプロ 忙しすぎてわしゃわしゃしてるけど美味しいから 仕方ない 入る前からカレーのスライスの香り

(Translated by Google) “Cheap, delicious, big portion!!” An old-fashioned restaurant in a residential area The most popular cutlet curry is unique. As expected from Joshu, the pork cutlet is outstanding. It also goes perfectly with the restaurant's signature black curry. Both are leading roles, a dream double co-star! is. Cutlet curry 700 yen, large size 900 yen. When ordering a large portion, they will show you the rice portion. Probably about 3 bowls of rice. There are still penalties, so It would be best to refrain from ordering out of curiosity. The size is perfect for people who can afford it. The curry roux is You can only get one refill for free. This makes me happy. The rich and spicy black curry, which cannot be recreated at home, is addictive. I can see why everyone is asking for it. Rather than eating happily, Just being a gentleman and facing cutlet curry, That's the style of the store. The cutlet curry is probably from Kano Shokudo. I want to eat there again and will definitely visit again. Gunma's large set meals are truly amazing. Note: Currently, the store's signboard has been removed and there is only a business board, so there is a high chance of seeing it for the first time. (Original) 「安い・うまい・デカ盛り！！」 住宅街にある、昔ながらの大衆食堂 人気No.1のカツカレーは唯一無二。 さすが上州、豚カツが抜群にうまい。 そして、お店特性の黒カレーとの相性も抜群。 どちらも主役級の、夢のW共演！です。 カツカレー700円、大盛り900円。 大盛り注文時、ご飯盛りを見せてくれます。 どんぶり飯、3杯分位だろうか。 残しのペナルティもあるので、 興味本位の注文はやめた方がいいでしょう。 いける人は全然余裕のサイズ感です。 カレーのルーは、 1回のみ無料でおかわりできます。 これは嬉しい。 自宅では再現できない、濃厚かつスパイスの効いた黒カレーは中毒性あり。 みなさんが頼む理由がわかります。 わいわいと食べると言うより、 ただひたすら紳士にカツカレーと向き合う、 そんな感じのお店のスタイル。 カツカレーは叶食堂でしょう。 また食べたい、再訪確定です。 群馬のデカ盛り定食はほんと素晴らしい。 注意:　現在お店の看板は外され、営業中のボードのみなので、初見スルーの確率高め。

(Translated by Google) It's a shop in the mountains, but there's a constant stream of customers. Their distinctive black curry has a runny texture and tastes more oily than spicy. It has a unique flavor. The ramen, on the other hand, is not oily, and the soup is similar to Japanese soba noodles, with a broth and seasoning that makes it seem like you're eating soba noodles. I think the balance between the portion size and price is good. Despite the harsh reviews, the staff were very pleasant to serve. (Original) 山の中のおみせ、でもお客さんがひっきりなしにでいりしてる。 特徴的な黒いカレーはゾロゾロとした食感でスパイシーさよりも脂を感じます。個性的なあじです。 ラーメンは逆にあぶらっけがなく、スープも日本そばのような出汁、味付けでお蕎麦を食べている錯覚におちいります。 量とお値段のバランスはいいとおもいます。 厳しい事がかいてありますが、スタッフの方々はとても気持ちよく接客してくださいました。

There are 3 seats at the table. To order, check the menu at the counter Look and order. The cost performance and taste are very good. The volume is normal and large. Yes, but even in normal size Equivalent to a large serving of regular curry. By the way, a large curry is 3 cups of rice. It's going to be a crazy amount. (Original) 20240622 本日は渋川市で黒いカツカレー、 チキンカツカレーを食べに 叶食堂さんへ初来店。 店内はテーブル席が5席、座敷 テーブル3席あります。 注文はカウンターでメニューを 見て注文します。 コスパも味も大変良いです。 ボリュームは普通盛、大盛りと ありますが、普通盛りでも 普通のカレーの大盛り相当。 因みに大盛りカレーは飯3合の ヤバイ量となりますので。

(Translated by Google) I visited for lunch at 11:30 on a Sunday, which is a holiday. It seems to be a popular restaurant, and the restaurant was nearly full. As a local rule, you order at a counter that doubles as a cash register. Water is also self-service. There was a calendar engraved on the glass in which the water was poured, but the year on it was 1993. Most of the customers at this restaurant were eating katsu curry. I also ordered katsu curry, which is known as the epitome of sinful foods. The curry is what they call black curry. It has a deep, bitter flavor and the amount of rice is quite large. The katsu curry also comes with lightly pickled cucumbers, potato salad, and miso soup. It was very filling. It was good value for money and I was full. I am the Prince of Spices, Katsu Curry Baron, who boasts that hunger is the greatest spice. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 休日日曜日11:30ランチでの訪問となります。 人気店のようで店内は満席に近い状態でした。 ローカルルールとしてオーダーの際はレジ兼窓口のような場所で自らオーダーします。 お水もセルフサービスとなります。 お水を注いだコップにカレンダーが刻まれていましたがなんとその暦の年号は1993年の代物でした。 こちらのお店のお客様のほとんどがカツカレーを食べていました。 そして私も罪深き食べ物代表格としてその名を轟かせるカツカレーをオーダー。 カレーは所謂黒いカレーです。 コク深く苦味を感じるタイプでライスの量はかなり多めとなっています。 カツカレーには、きゅうりの浅漬けとポテトサラダと味噌汁まで付いています。 とにかくボリューム満点です。 コスパが良くお腹いっぱいとなりました。 そんな空腹こそ最大のスパイスと豪語するスパイスの貴公子こと私、カツカレー男爵でした。 ご馳走様でした。

(Translated by Google) I found this restaurant on a certain website, and stopped in for lunch on the way to Kawaba Village for a drive. I had their specialty katsu curry, so I had it. (My wife had katsudon.) The amount of rice was just huge! It was probably about 2 cups. However, this is half a serving of rice, so unless you're confident in your stomach, it's probably best not to order the regular portion. The curry was dark and had very few ingredients. It was a bit powdery. The tonkatsu was about 3cm thick and was delicious. It came with 2 small side dishes and miso soup for 680 yen. It's cheap, so it's good for people who want to fill up. The taste was decent, though. (Original) 某サイトを検索して出てきまして、川場村にドライブに行く途中のお昼ごはんで寄りました。 カツカレーが名物のようなので、いただきました。（妻はカツ丼をいただきました。） ごはんの量がとにかく多い！ 多分、2合くらいあります。しかし、これで半ライスだそうなので、胃袋に自信がある方以外は普通盛りにはしないほうが良いでしょう。 カレーは黒く具材はほとんどありません。 ちょっと粉っぽいかな。トンカツは厚さ3cmくらいのロース肉でおいしかったです。 小鉢が2つと、味噌汁がついて680円。 安く、お腹いっぱいになりたい方は良いかと思います。味はそれなりということで。
