Choosing a meal in Gunma
Mizusawa udon is about the chewy noodles; okkirikomi simmers wide noodles and vegetables together in broth. Choose the dish that fits the meal you want, then look for a restaurant serving it.
Tips for choosing a restaurant
Search for the hot-spring town by name, such as Kusatsu, when choosing a restaurant. A Gunma-wide search can also show places in Takasaki, far from where you are staying.
What else could you see nearby?
Kusatsu’s Yubatake and Ikaho’s stone steps belong to different onsen towns, not one evening stroll. If you want a relaxed night at the baths, choose where you will stay first.
