Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture. Historically a key transportation hub, it flourished as a post town along the Nakasendo Road and as a commercial city with active trade in silk and silkworm eggs.

The area around Yanagawa-cho, once known as the largest Geisha district in North Kanto, still retains its Showa-era retro townscape. This tour centers on the area called "Yanagawa Village," where you can experience the region's history, industry, and culture.

Visit the architectural masterpiece "Gunma Music Center" designed by Antonin Raymond, who led Japanese modernist architecture, tour workshops producing daruma dolls (which boast Japan's largest production volume), and then taste the local popular culture of a Japanese provincial city in Yanagawa Village's authentic dining district.

Enjoy this bright and friendly city with its historic landscapes and warm atmosphere.
