Ikaho Onsen 伊香保温泉
Ikaho-onsen (伊香保温泉) is an ancient hot spring town located on a highland rising 720-820 meters above sea level at the northeastern foot of Mt. Haruna-san in the central part of Gunma Prefecture.
Ikaho Onsen is one of the four most famous hot spring resorts of Gunma Prefecture.
The town is built around old stone steps leading down to the source, a golden sulfate spring.
The spring is of sulfate and carbonic acid producing a high concentration of iron, and it is so high that it sometimes dyes towels red. The source of the spring is situated somewhat away from the town, at a spot 850 meters above sea level, and from which each inn draws.
Getting There:
From Ueno Station, take the Joetsu Shinkansen or Nagano Shinkansen to Takasaki Station. From there, take the Joetsu Honsen to Shibukawa Station. A 20 minute bus ride will get you to Ikaho. The trip takes about 2 hours in total.
