Takuminosato, Gunma

[muikabochi 208]

Went over the border into Gunma the other day for a bit of a drive. One stop was the small village called Takuminosato, near Numata. It's really pretty - lots of little traditional craft shops, a temple, flowers.... one of the nicest looking little villages I have been to in Japan actually.

 

Just off route 17 going in the direction of Naeba from Numata. Probably about 20 minutes from Numata / 30 minutes from Naeba.

 

Here's some photos:

Nice pics as always muikabochi. You should have given me a shout, I live quite near. Very nice place, especially not on holidays when it gets really busy!

great pic's!

 

Love the flowers across the stream...how sweet!

[muikabochi 208]

Thanks. Yes, sweet is a good word to describe the little village, lots of little touches like that. It's a really nice place on a sunny day.

 

Those wooden things were hanging up at the temple, new year wishes I think.

 

Will do, mina2.

Nice pics, and that's a pretty use of bamboo. Loads of bamboo groves are abandoned, save for folk digging up takenoko once a year.

 

Has anyone been to the old silk factory in Gunma-the wannabe world heritage place?

Beautiful pictures - looks gorgeous there.

[muikabochi 208]

Thanks.

It's only a small place and not all that famous, but on a fine day it is very pretty.

 

Not been to that place you mention Mr Wiggles, but I wouldn't mind.

I have never heard about it and also never been that area. Very nice photo thank you.
