List of photography spots in Gunma Prefecture

Gunma Prefecture is home to a natural environment surrounded by mountains, an abundance of hot spring resorts, and spectacular scenic spots that change their appearance with the seasons. Easily accessible from central Tokyo by Shinkansen bullet train or car, Gunma is an ideal area for a day trip or weekend getaway.

In spring, the "Akagi Nanmen Senbonzakura (Thousand Cherry Trees)" and the "Koinobori no Sato Festival" offer a relaxing view of flowers and swaying in the wind. In summer, the marshlands of "Ozegahara" spread their greenery all over, and visitors can feel the coolness and openness of the highlands. In autumn, visitors can enjoy the brilliantly colored autumn leaves of Mt. In winter, the snowy landscape of Kusatsu Onsen and Manza Onsen and the steamy atmosphere of Manza Onsen create a fantastic atmosphere that warms both body and soul.

The scenery created by the waterfront and nature, such as the "Megane Bridge at Usui Pass" and "Okushiman Lake," is also popular. Just a short distance from the hot spring resort, you can encounter beautiful scenery that you will want to capture in your photographs.

Gunma Prefecture's scenic spots are recommended for those who want to refresh themselves while feeling close to nature, for those who are looking for a quiet destination, and for those who love photography. Why not spend a memorable moment surrounded by mountain air, murmuring rivers, and the warmth of hot springs?
