00:00Sotsu!
00:03Fantastic Tengoku!
00:30Kogane-no-Yu, which is said to be full of luxury.
00:35And Ishidan-gai, which is nostalgic.
00:41What we are waiting for is the simple and delicious taste of Joshu.
00:47I'm hungry.
00:48And...
00:50This is the 17th one.
00:52This is the 20th one.
00:54This is the 23rd one.
00:57Ikaho is a hot spring town with a long history.
01:01It has been loved since the Sengoku period.
01:03Let's go and see how good it is.
01:09Ikaho Hot Spring in Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture
01:12takes about 2 hours by train and bus from Tokyo.
01:16This time, we will focus on Ishidan-gai.
01:23Let's start with the top 20.
01:29Ikaho Hot Spring can be easily reached by high-speed bus from Shinjuku.
01:34It takes about 2 and a half hours to arrive at Ishidan-gai, the entrance of Ikaho.
01:42Retro Ikaho used to be popular among middle-aged people.
01:48Now, young people are taking over Ishidan-gai.
01:52Thanks to them, the town is flourishing.
01:56There are many cute shops.
01:59I like retro style.
02:02When I look at Instagram, I want to go here and there.
02:07I want to go everywhere.
02:09So, the popularity of young people is rising.
02:15There are crepes.
02:16I want to eat.
02:17There is a popular cafe in Ishidan-gai.
02:24It is Rungo, which opened two years ago.
02:27Thank you for waiting.
02:28This is Isodango.
02:30There is a cute belly mark on Isodango.
02:34It is because Shibukawa City is the belly of Japan.
02:40When you walk along the side road in Ishidan-gai,
02:45there is a popular cafe that opened last year.
02:49Its specialty is baby castella.
02:52When I think about it,
02:54its form is unusual.
02:59This cafe and gallery is run by Kokeshi-koubou in Shintou-mura, next to Ikaho.
03:06Kokeshi-koubou is popular among young girls.
03:10This is a good idea.
03:12This is a cute castella with the motif of Kokeshi-koubou.
03:16It is served with a sauce of baked manjuu, a specialty of Gunma.
03:21If you eat it with sweet miso sauce,
03:24you can feel that you have come to Gunma.
03:28It's delicious.
03:30I always go there.
03:33I choose Kokeshi-koubou and buy it.
03:37Did you eat the castella?
03:39Yes, I ate it.
03:41It's moist and easy to eat.
03:43It's cute.
03:45Everyone said it was cute and ate it.
03:49Thank you very much.
04:07Pinon, a Western-style inn is located a little far from Ishidangai.
04:13It was opened 27 years ago by Matsumoto-ro, a Japanese-style inn.
04:19Welcome.
04:21What is the purpose of this inn?
04:24Ikahon-sen is a group-style inn,
04:27so I made this inn for single women and young couples to stay reasonably.
04:36It costs 14,000 yen per person for a two-night stay.
04:40It's affordable.
04:43No.19 Reasonable Inn
04:49A Western-style inn opened by the wife of Matsumoto-ro, Hibiya,
04:54is the heart of the inn.
04:57In Pinon, you can taste the local food,
05:00Sousaku French Kaiseki.
05:05In addition, the hot spring is less stimulating.
05:08You can enjoy both Shirogane-no-yu and Kogane-no-yu from Ikahon.
05:16And the largest inn in Ikahon, Hibikino,
05:19which has about 15,000 rooms.
05:23Welcome.
05:28In this elegant inn,
05:30there is a new style of accommodation that started last year.
05:34That is...
05:36Ryokan.
05:37Ryokan?
05:38Yes.
05:39Not ryokan?
05:40Ryokan.
05:41Ryokan.
05:43It's a combination of ryokan and camping.
05:47We opened a camping facility inside the inn.
05:53The camp space is 2750 yen per adult.
05:58It is also popular for camping car trips.
06:01In addition, you can enjoy a sauna for a separate fee.
06:05A Finnish-style barrel sauna.
06:09Or if you enjoy a tent sauna,
06:15you can enjoy both Shirogane-no-yu and Kogane-no-yu
06:18at the hot spring in the main building.
06:21You can enjoy both Shirogane-no-yu and Kogane-no-yu.
06:26It's reasonable and you can enjoy a good meal and hobbies.
06:30There are many ways to spend time in Ikahon hot spring.
06:37Ikahon hot spring is located on the slope of Haruna-san
06:40which is about 700 meters above sea level.
06:43There is an opinion that the long stone steps made there
06:46make you feel depressed.
06:50There is an image of stairs.
06:52This is a barrier-free map.
06:54Mr. Shibukawa created a barrier-free map
06:58and showed us the route to avoid the stairs.
07:02This is good.
07:03I'm glad.
07:04The number of car users also cooperated
07:07to investigate the slope.
07:10It's quite difficult.
07:12The map not only shows the name,
07:15but also the slope of the slope.
07:18The angle is written.
07:19Ikahon has a strong image of a stone step and a slope.
07:22I thought it was impossible to go there.
07:25But I found out that you can go there
07:29from a different route by taking a detour.
07:32I was glad to be able to investigate it together.
07:35It was fun.
07:36I think it's a different feeling
07:39when you have information and when you don't.
07:43I hope many people enjoy Ikahon
07:46because it's a beautiful place.
07:49Ikahon's old hill is also one of the attractions of the city.
07:55No. 18 Ikahon Hill
08:00There are some steep slopes,
08:03but there is a beautiful view on the way to the hill.
08:06It's really beautiful when it's sunny.
08:08Ikahon's main line, Rotenburo,
08:11is where you can see Ikahon Hill.
08:16It's close to the main line of Ikahon.
08:18It's a place where locals go on a day trip.
08:23It heals tired legs on the slope.
08:29What is your favorite restaurant in Ikahon?
08:33It's a bit of a street food.
08:35Ukigumo.
08:36Japanese food, Chinese food,
08:39and ethnic food.
08:41There are a lot of things.
08:42It's fun.
08:44Ikahon has few restaurants that are open at night.
08:48The Taishu Sakaba, which opened in 2022,
08:51has saved many people.
08:54No. 17 Ukigumo
08:58It seems that there are a lot of tourists coming here
09:01because it is introduced at the inn.
09:04First of all, they are looking for a dish that goes well with sake.
09:07It's called Obanzai.
09:11Sweet potatoes from Joshu Tomato and Shintomura.
09:15You can taste a lot of local ingredients.
09:21After working at a local restaurant in Tokyo,
09:25the owner started this restaurant.
09:27There are many new restaurants.
09:30I think Ikahon is in a new situation.
09:35I hope Ikahon will continue to do its best.
09:43Sakaba is also well-known to the locals.
09:48I recommend the stir-fried liver of Joshu Jidori
09:51and the leek of Gunma Prefecture.
09:54It's stir-fried liver and leek.
09:57Thank you for waiting.
09:58This is Joshu Jidori's stir-fried liver and leek.
10:00It's fresh, so it doesn't smell.
10:04I'm looking forward to the night in Ikahon.
10:11The 255th in Ishidan.
10:14There is a popular cafe restaurant that is perfect for a day off.
10:19No. 16.
10:21Sarazu Terrace Araiya.
10:25It moved from a hot spring inn 46 years ago.
10:30She is in charge of cooking in this fashionable restaurant
10:34with a north-eastern style furniture.
10:38Surprisingly, she is a grandmother.
10:40She is Taeko, the owner's wife.
10:43She was born and raised in Ishidan, Ikahon.
10:47Excuse me, but how old are you?
10:52I'm 93 years old.
10:5493?
10:55Yes.
10:56You don't look like you're 93 years old.
10:59Shall we have a meal together?
11:02I tell him to sit down and rest every day,
11:05but he says he can't do it unless he does what he did today the next day.
11:10I see.
11:12He doesn't listen to me.
11:15It's easier to sleep,
11:17but if I sleep, I can't get up.
11:21The recommended dish is grilled ginger with the famous Joshu Mugibuta
11:26and the old-fashioned abacara sauce.
11:30Taeko is proud of this grilled ginger.
11:35It looks soft.
11:36There is a ninja who eats only grilled ginger all over Japan.
11:41He said that the grilled ginger in this restaurant
11:44is one of the best in Japan.
11:47He said it's one of the best.
11:49Thank you for waiting.
11:51This is grilled ginger.
11:52It looks delicious.
11:53The fragrant ginger brings out the umami of the pork.
11:59By the way...
12:01Your nose is smooth.
12:03It's smooth, isn't it?
12:05I've been living in Ikahon Onsen since I was born.
12:09I've lived here since I was a baby.
12:13The secret of the young lady's youth is the onsen.
12:16Let's enjoy the charm of the onsen tonight.
12:20That's it for No. 20 to No. 16.
12:23This week's topic is Ikahon Onsen.
12:29I feel energetic.
12:30I want to eat grilled ginger.
12:33I've actually eaten grilled ginger there.
12:36It was very delicious.
12:38The ginger was tender.
12:40It was crispy.
12:42It was as crispy as rice.
12:44It's cheap.
12:45I ate three pieces of meat.
12:47So I'm full.
12:50I'm full.
12:53I'm from Gunma.
12:55I've been going to Ikahon Onsen with my family since I was a kid.
13:00There is a festival called Ishidan Hina Matsuri.
13:02It's a festival where children in kindergarten dress up as Hina dolls.
13:09I actually participated in it.
13:13I participated in it.
13:15I go there once a year.
13:18I still go there.
13:20It doesn't take two and a half hours by bus.
13:23You can get there by bus from Shinjuku.
13:25You can get to Ishidan Hina Matsuri by bus.
13:28It's like a tourist attraction.
13:30It's like a location bus.
13:33There is a poet named SAKUTARO HAGIWARA who was active in the Taisho era.
13:38He is from Maebachi, Gunma.
13:40There is an essay about Ikahon called Ishidan Hina Matsuri.
13:45SAKUTARO says that the charm of Ikahon is that everything is moderate.
13:50Everything is moderate.
13:52I see.
13:54On the contrary, he says that it is difficult to say good things.
13:59I don't think it's very prominent.
14:02It's moderate everywhere.
14:05I think that's the best thing about onsen.
14:07That's right.
14:09Gunma's local karuta, JOMO KARUTA.
14:13When you open the lid, the first thing you see is a proud tag that reads Ikahon.
14:23No. 15. Ikahon Onsen, the famous island in Japan.
14:28JOMO KARUTA was built in the 22nd year of the Showa era.
14:35The karuta makers worshipped at Ikahon Shrine and prayed for the reconstruction of Japan.
14:45When you open the lid, you will see Ikahon Onsen, the famous island in Japan.
14:49It's a colorful and cute tag, so everyone wants to take it.
14:55There is another popular tag among everyone.
14:59There is a tag called Shima Onsen that washes away the dirt of the world.
15:03There is a butt on the tag.
15:08When I was in elementary school, boys wanted to take that tag.
15:12Girls were embarrassed to see it, so they didn't take it.
15:16Boys are stupid.
15:18I bought a butt.
15:20I want to take a butt.
15:22And Ikahon Onsen story.
15:27Ikahon Onsen was originally called Ikatsuho.
15:36After the battle of Nagashino in 1575,
15:41Takeda Katsuyori ordered Sanada Masayuki, the founder of the Ryoyojo in Shōhei,
15:47to build a stone pagoda.
15:51This is said to be the first onsen city plan in Japan.
15:57It's amazing that it's the first in Japan.
15:59Kaji suffered from Ikahon Onsen.
16:04In particular, more than 70% of the onsen was damaged in the Taika in Taisho 9th year.
16:11I didn't know that.
16:14After that, Osaka-ya was established.
16:20Now it's a car repair shop, but it was a retail store at that time.
16:27What is hung on the wall of the shop is a signboard of a guest.
16:34It was sent to the shop by a storyteller.
16:38After burning all of this,
16:40my family was the first to stand there.
16:43My family gave me this because I was a guest.
16:48The 8th generation, Katsura, Bunraku Shisho, etc.
16:51There are big name signboards.
16:56There were a lot of people,
17:00but they all hid in the soles of my feet.
17:04In the soles of your feet?
17:06In this way, the historical onsen city has been loved for a long time.
17:12In this city, which is rich in nature,
17:15there is a place where you can relax more.
17:18And a place where you can take a walk in Ikaho.
17:21The works left by the illustrator of the phantasmagoria are now attracting attention.
17:31The inn is located in a quiet place a little away from Ishidangai.
17:36Kouunkan
17:39Kogane-no-yu is poured into the bath of the large bath.
17:46There are only 10 rooms in the guest room.
17:49In this silver room,
17:51you can relax in the English Edwardian Regency style room
17:55and the Japanese-style room that you learned when you were in the silver room.
18:00In the guest room, there is a hot spring bath and a open-air bath.
18:04The inn, which is located a little away from the bustling Ishidangai, is also popular.
18:11No. 14. A quiet inn
18:17Kouunkan's bath is a sea stone restaurant where you can feel the charm of Joshu and the heart of Omotenashi.
18:26You can spend a quiet night while enjoying the enthusiasm of the inn and the fresh spring roll of Akagi beef.
18:37In addition, while listening to the sound of the river,
18:43you will find a small cable car climbing the slope.
18:48In fact, it is a cable car for the inn that stands on it.
18:53Kano-ya, a hot spring inn founded in 1892.
18:59In a room with a good view of the mountains,
19:03you can enjoy a relaxing holiday.
19:07At night, you can enjoy stargazing in a private open-air bath.
19:15The inn, which is located in the valley, also has a wonderful view from the large bath.
19:27The old Japanese house is said to be a historical site of the city.
19:32When I thought about what kind of building it was,
19:36it was a surprising name with the name of Hawaii.
19:41No. 13 Hawaii King Koushi Bette
19:46This is the villa of Koushi Bette when Hawaii was still a kingdom.
19:54Because Bette praised Ikaho, there was also a temple in Meiji era.
19:59Ikaho is amazing.
20:01Ikaho is a hot spring with a history, so that's what it is.
20:06Because of the relationship with the Kingdom of Hawaii,
20:09Ikaho holds the Hawaiian Festival every year with the Hawaiian Army of Hawaii.
20:19The Taisho Romance Forest is located near Kendo No. 33.
20:24Hakua's mansion, which appears when you go inside,
20:28is an art museum of painter Takeshisa Yumeji.
20:33Takeshisa Yumeji was loved by Ikaho and Haruna
20:38when he was born on the 140th anniversary of his birth this year.
20:44He has created many works with the theme of this land.
20:51No. 12 Art Ikaho
20:55Takeshisa is famous for his beautiful paintings.
20:59When you look inside, there are flowers and children's paintings.
21:04It's pop, but it's delicate.
21:07It's full of charm.
21:10I bought a handkerchief.
21:13It's cute.
21:15Isn't it cute?
21:17It's a little unexpected.
21:19It was originally like this.
21:21It has the image of a very beautiful painting.
21:24It's very popular among female students
21:28because it's designed like a picture book.
21:33A popular attraction at Hoshina Art Museum, a museum of facilities,
21:39is the world of Kaichi Kobayashi.
21:43He has been called a phantom painter
21:47because his gender and number of works were almost unknown until recently.
21:54From the late Taisho period to the early Showa period,
21:57Kaichi Kobayashi's paintings were very popular among young women,
22:03but they were gradually forgotten.
22:06However, the beauty of the design is now being re-evaluated.
22:11It's nice.
22:12It's fashionable.
22:14Let's ask the townspeople what they are good at.
22:18What is it?
22:19Skateboarding.
22:21Can you all skate?
22:23Yes, we can.
22:25I'm good at ice hockey.
22:27For me, ice hockey and speed skating
22:30are the most popular sports in elementary and middle school.
22:33Baseball is also a part of it,
22:35so I'm good at ice hockey and skating.
22:38In Ikao, which welcomes the cold winter,
22:42is the largest skating rink in Kanto.
22:45Ikao Rink.
22:47In the 400-meter outdoor rink,
22:50many competitions such as international competitions have been held.
22:54Amazing.
22:56In Ikao Elementary School,
22:58the more skating classes there are,
23:00the more familiar it is to the locals.
23:03I used to skate in Harunako in winter.
23:07The 11th Skate Town.
23:12In the outdoor rink,
23:14Ikao Elementary School Ice Hockey Club
23:16is practicing together.
23:19There are only a few ice hockey clubs in the country.
23:24In Gunma Prefecture,
23:26there is only Ikao Elementary School.
23:30How many members are there?
23:32Six.
23:34Six?
23:35Six.
23:36And there is another club team, Jupiter.
23:41There are a few members there,
23:44and there are competitions like the representative of Gunma.
23:49How do you feel about Gunma?
23:53It's too heavy.
23:56I want to spread it to everyone.
23:59If you are interested,
24:01I want you to come and see the competitions.
24:06Ikao people love skating.
24:09The ladies from Araiya who appeared earlier.
24:14We go skating at night.
24:17We wear clear skates,
24:19so we can spin around.
24:21This person is good at skating,
24:25so I want her to join the national team.
24:28Amazing.
