Yubatake in Gunma


Gunma is a prefecture next to Tokyo however not as popular to Singaporeans (and many people).  It's not difficult to travel there and the Yubatake (onsen water field was majestic).  It actually snowed when we were there.

Day 5 in Japan - Bikan Historical Area + Denim Street + Mitsui Outlet in Okayama

 22/03/2023


A lot of people will go from Hiroshima to Osaka vice versa, passing through Okayama.
It's a city overlooked by many.  Part of me feel that it's a pity, but on the other hand I hope it remain as it is, we do not need another Tokyo.
