Hotels in Gunma — What to Expect
Just a short bullet train ride north of Tokyo, Gunma is a prefecture defined by its dramatic landscapes and restorative hot springs. The main draw is its onsen culture, centered around historic towns like Kusatsu, where steaming, acidic waters bubble up in the town center at the Yubatake hot field. In winter, skiers head to the slopes of Minakami and Oze, while autumn brings visitors to see the fiery maple trees at Fukiware Falls. It’s a place for active relaxation, where you can soak in a rotenburo outdoor bath after a day of hiking through Nikko National Park.
For a classic onsen experience, base yourself in a traditional ryokan in Kusatsu or Ikaho. These towns are perfect for couples or solo travelers seeking a peaceful retreat. Families might prefer the broader amenities around Takasaki or Maebashi, the prefectural capital, which offer easier access to sights like the Daruma Temple. Getting around is straightforward with the Joetsu Shinkansen connecting Takasaki to Tokyo in under an hour, and local trains and buses serving the mountain resorts.
On HOTEVI, you’ll find 157 places to stay across Gunma. The accommodation is dominated by traditional Japanese inns and mid-range business hotels, with a smaller selection of budget-friendly guesthouses and a few higher-end resort properties in the key onsen districts.
