This roadside station is very popular with children, with its large playground equipment and Tarzan ropes adjacent to the park. We had lunch at a soba restaurant on the premises. We enjoyed delicious soba noodles while enjoying the view from our window seat. There are many workshops, and I recommend this milk workshop. The yogurt made from raw milk from cows raised at the foot of Mt. Hotaka was really delicious. You can also buy this product online, so be sure to check it out! And the cheese here is also excellent!! I bought mozzarella and ricotta, and they were fresh, with a natural sweetness and saltiness. I also recommend the apple pie and pudding!! #roadsidestation #absolutelyfreetrip #KawabaDenenPlaza #blueberries #numberoneinJapan #Gunma

After returning from the zoo, we stayed at Kawabaonsen Hotel. The hotel is very beautiful. The way to the room is by electric train + monorail. It is very advanced. The children are very excited. You have to book in advance because there are only 20 rooms. The onsen is very good and clean. The bedrooms are spacious. Our family focuses on sleeping a lot because we have many children and the children like to sleep with their mothers. The mother takes turns lulling the children to sleep. During our trip, the weather was very cold, about 1 degree Celsius to below zero. It was so awesome. Oh my! Note: The room was booked by the guide who is Japanese. Note: If you pass by, don't forget to buy some yogurt and beer. They are very delicious.

[Kawaba Village, Gunma Prefecture] Today we will be introducing Kichijoji, a flower temple located in Kawaba Village, a famous spot every year during the autumn foliage season. The photo was taken in November of last year, but by this time the plants had already been covered in winter protection to protect them from the winter snow. Inside the temple, we were able to enjoy matcha tea and even got an owl fortune. It's gotten cold early this year, so we'd like to visit other autumn foliage spots so we don't miss out on the season.
