It’s thought that this shrine dates back a full 1400 years, and since then it’s had quite a history. Its impressive grounds are quite vast, with a 700 meter walk from the entrance to the main buildings. As with everywhere in Gunma, this means you’ll need to work for your culture fix with a fair bit of uphill walking — around 20 minutes, to be precise.
Once there however, you’ll be greeted with a beautiful shrine, and the chance to pray for blessings from the resident gods. The particular residents of this shrine are said to give blessings for good grain harvests, happy marriages, and business success. Although you’re probably not particularly worried about your grain harvest this year, the other two might be very useful.
The pathway up to the main building is a sight in itself, running between dramatic rock faces which rise up in sheer cliffs as a backdrop for the pagodas and pavilions. Whether you’re coming for the blessings, or just for some fantastic photos, you won’t be disappointed.

据说这座神庙的历史可以追溯到 1400 年前，从那时起，它就拥有了相当悠久的历史。神社占地面积广阔，从入口到主建筑有 700 米的步行路程。和群马县的其他地方一样，这意味着您需要走一段上坡路来感受文化，准确地说，大约需要 20 分钟。
不过，一到那里，您就会看到一座美丽的神社，并有机会祈求神灵的保佑。据说这个神社的住持会保佑谷物丰收、婚姻美满和事业成功。虽然您可能并不特别担心今年的粮食收成，但其他两个方面可能会非常有用。
通往主建筑的小路本身就是一道风景线，在陡峭的悬崖峭壁上耸立着壮观的岩壁，作为宝塔和亭子的背景。无论您是为祈福而来，还是只为拍摄一些梦幻般的照片，这里都不会让您失望。

前往群马县的这座神秘山峰朝圣，自 6 世纪以来，这里一直是重要的神道遗址。

Haruna Shrine Food Experiences & Restaurants | byFood

Haruna Shrine

Accessibly located in Kanto, Gunma Prefecture dips one leg into the urban sprawl which dominates the south of the region, but the rest belongs to beautiful, dramatic mountains. Here, you can get the full benefit of the hot springs and ski resorts of the Japanese Alps, just a round a 2-hour drive from the Japanese capital. 

Located 1800 meters above sea level, the picture-perfect Manza Onsen has the highest sulphur content of any onsen in Japan, thanks to the active volcano which is perched on the side — Mt. Shirane. The nearby Kusatsu Onsen Resort is arguably the most famous in the country, and boasts the highest volume of water flowing through its springs, with dozens of bath styles to choose from. Both of these resorts are perfect places to relax after indulging in some of the prefecture’s more active pursuits.

This could mean anything from birdwatching in the marshlands of Oze National Park, getting your adrenaline flowing in the rapids of the Minakami adventure sports haven, or taking to the skies in a glider for a birds-eye view of this stunning place. As far as value for your time goes, the accessibility, beauty, and sheer variation offered in Gunma Prefecture is hard to beat.

群马县位于关东地区，交通便利，其南部主要是城市，其余则是美丽壮观的群山。在这里，您可以充分享受日本阿尔卑斯山的温泉和滑雪胜地，距离日本首都仅 2 小时车程。 

位于海拔 1800 米处的万座温泉（Manza Onsen）是日本含硫量最高的温泉，这要归功于温泉边上的活火山--白根山（Mt. Shirane）。附近的草津温泉度假村可以说是日本最著名的温泉度假村，拥有最高的泉水流量，并有数十种入浴方式可供选择。这两个度假村都是您在尽情享受县内一些活动后放松身心的绝佳去处。

您可以在尾濑国立公园的沼泽地观鸟，在水上冒险运动天堂的激流中体验刺激，或者乘坐滑翔机在空中鸟瞰这个迷人的地方。就时间的价值而言，群马县的交通便利、景色优美、种类繁多，是难以超越的。

这里有世界一流的温泉和丰富的探险运动，是周末旅行者的天堂，也是从东京轻松抵达的最令人兴奋的地点之一。

NOT SURE WHERE TO GO?

The archipelago of Japan consists of four main islands, eight regions of Japan, and a total of 47 prefectures between them, each with their own diverse traditions, culture, food, and history. Hokkaido is the main northern island, followed by Honshu (home to Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, and Chugoku), Shikoku, Kyushu, and the Okinawa islands to the southwest.

Discover the unique offerings of each region by checking out the Japan areas above, like the coastal prefecture of Shizuoka (home to hot springs, Mt. Fuji, and a booming agricultural industry) and Nara Prefecture (which boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites). While Japan might be perceived as a tiny country (the archipelago is smaller than the state of California), the nation is diverse in climate and culture. Each area of Japan has its own staple produce and regional Japanese cuisine.

Not only can you explore the popular destinations of Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but there are also a variety of other areas in Japan ranging from adventurous spots for daredevils to super-rural areas where visitors can connect with the land and people. From climbing Mt. Fuji in Shizuoka to indulging in matcha tea in Uji to enjoying island life in Okinawa (considered to be Japan’s Hawaii), these Japan areas each offer diverse experiences and ample opportunity for exploration. To make your Japan travel planning a little easier, browse these area pages where you can discover Japan tourist attractions, Japanese food experiences, and more!

Delve into Japanese food culture, discovering the distinctive and diverse range of Japanese dishes which are sometimes sophisticated, sometimes hearty and comforting, but always delicious. These Japanese foods offer a window into the world of “washoku” (Japanese cuisine), which made UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2013.	


There’s worldwide appreciation for Japanese food, with Tokyo boasting the world’s highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants for the 12th year in a row in 2019. Not only is Japan home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, but the Japanese cuisine (“washoku”) is also celebrated as one of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritages. The main staples of Japanese food include rice (in various forms from steamed white rice to mochi), soy products (tofu, soy sauce, miso soup, natto), fish (sashimi, bonito flakes, grilled salmon), seaweed (kombu, nori, wakame), noodles (soba, udon, ramen), and tsukemono (Japanese pickles). Different regions of Japan also have their own specialty foods. Osaka, considered “The Nation’s Kitchen” is the birthplace of takoyaki, Kyoto is famous for tofu and yuba, and Okinawa is known for goya champuru (bittermelon stir fry). Many regions in Japan have their own special twists on dishes like Japanese ramen, nabe (hot pot), and ozoni (mochi soup eaten on New Year’s Day). Explore the Japanese foods above and learn about the diversity of Japanese cuisine, then perhaps you can join a food experience and learn to make Japanese food during a cooking class, become an expert on Japanese sake or tea during a tasting experience, or discover your new favorite type of ramen during a ramen tour. The landscape of Japanese food is evolving, so eating in Japan is always an adventure, with restaurants and chefs riffing on traditional and modern foods, Eastern and Western cooking styles and flavors, and creating inventive eats like chocolate ramen, matcha beer, or ridiculously pillowy Japanese pancakes. Discover your new favorite Japanese food here on byFood and delve deeper into Japanese food culture.
