Popular Post muikabochi 208 Posted October 25, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2014 Beautiful day today and time for a drive over into Gunma with the camera. Lovely! Yuzawa up before the Mitsumata tunnel Into Gunma... going down Route 17 towards Sarugakyo A fave location in the Takuminosato village area of Minakami. It's very picturesque. Somewhere on the road down into Nakanojo. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 That temple area looks really beautiful. Is it a big area? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Thanks. Actually no, the 16 photos in that section were all taken in a very small area. Park the car, walk 10m to the entrance, over the bridge, walk up to the temple area where all the bamboo is. The other hut place is about 40m down the road. There's no charge and there was absolutely no-one else there during the 20-30 minutes we were there. There's more to Takuminosato - this temple is a bit apart from the main bit - it's a 'craft village', and I think actually part of Minakami. Just off Route 17 heading towards Naeba, before Sarugakyo. Worth a visit I reckon. Nice looking little area, some interesting little inaka craft shops lining the pretty roads. And remember to stop at Tasuke manju about 4-5km further down towards Numata for some snacks. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Well done, as always, Muika. BTW, those rock outcroppings on the way to Nakanojo look even better in winter when topped with snow. Sort of Kappa-esque. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 They should chisel out the likeness of our great leader Shinzo Abe into the rock. And perhaps Shakey on the other one! Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 That mask looks like a kappa. (?) Lovely scenery. Can't help but picture it with (the soon to come) snow on it. Link to post Share on other sites
