The Journey of Enjoying Good Hot Springs Near Kanto Area
Hot springs abound in Japan and this week we go in search of hidden spas. Located in unusual spots, these exquisite hot springs will rejuvenate you. Along the way, we will also indulge in seasonal local culinary delicacies.
Our first hidden hot spring is located in Gunma, which is known for its hot springs. From Tokyo, travel by Joetsu Shinkansen to Takasaki Station, Gunma. Then, hop on board a Galaxy Express 999 train from Takasaki and head to Shimonita. The Joshin Dentetsu train is decorated with the illustrations of author Matsumoto Leiji. Four trains ply daily from Takasaki to Shimonita, which once prospered as an agricultural town. The local specialities of Shimonita are green onions and konjac. Konjac is cultivated almost exclusively in Gunma Prefecture. So you may first wish to visit the konjac fields to see how konjac is harvested. You will notice that machines are used for digging the konjac out of the earth, but their buds and sprouts are removed by hand. As for Shimonita green onions, they are characterised by their shortness and thickness. To try these local delicacies, go to the Nabeya restaurant, located near the train station. It was established in 1928. The Sukiyaki set meal features Shimonita green onion, Shimonita konjac and Shimonita mushrooms. At a price of 1,000 yen (S$16), the set comes with rice, miso soup, tender local beef and other side dishes.
