Chiyoda Town in Gunma Prefecture, Japan, is a tranquil rural area renowned for its traditional agriculture and onsen culture. Its core appeal lies in the unspoiled countryside charm and streetscapes preserving Edo-period aesthetics, offering an authentic escape from urban commercialization.
Must-visit spots include century-old bathhouses in the Chiyoda Onsen District and the Folk Museum displaying agricultural tools. Visit Sakuragawa Embankment for cherry blossoms in spring, or the Rice Paddy Art Festival in autumn to see giant crop artworks. Don't miss the nightly Lantern Festival illuminating traditional streets.
Try regional specialties: "Houtou" wheat noodles, charcoal-grilled "yakitori" skewers, and mountain vegetable kaiseki at ryokans. Farm-direct "Roadside Station" markets sell fresh pudding made with local milk and highland vegetables – perfect edible souvenirs.
Reliant on buses and taxis (no subway). From Tokyo, take JR Joetsu Shinkansen to Takasaki Station (1hr), then transfer to a bus (40min). Bicycle rentals are ideal for countryside exploration (some inns offer free bikes). Note: Buses run infrequently (1-2/hour on weekdays) – check schedules in advance.
Prime seasons are April-May (cherry blossoms & fresh greenery) and September-November (rice art & autumn foliage). Summers (July-August) are humid with frequent rain, while winters (December-February) offer special snow-viewing onsen packages.
