Fuji-Torii, established 60 years ago, produces folding screens, each of which is elaborately hand painted exclusively for Fuji-Torii by a professional artist using traditional brush-painting techniques. These folding screens have been used for gifts from Japan’s prime ministers to foreign people, for interior decorations of foreign embassies in Japan and for housewarming gifts. 富士鳥居創立於 60 年前，主要生產折疊式屏風。每一片屏風都是由專業藝術家為富士鳥居揮動畫筆，運用絕妙手繪技巧，精心製作而成。這些精美的折疊式屏風曾用來當作日本首相贈送外國貴賓，作為佈置駐日外國大使館的裝飾品或是喬遷之喜的禮物。

unma Prefecture, located almost at the center of the Japanese archipelago, is an inland prefecture with 2,000-meter high mountains in the western and northern parts and the Kanto Plain in the southeast. This nature-blessed land with more than 100 hot springs and vast marshlands is known as a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts. Gunma is roughly divided into five areas.

The Agatsuma Area —The Agatsuma area is in the northwestern part of the prefecture and blessed with nature, hot springs, valleys, and ski resorts.

GUNMA 群馬

Kusatsu Onsen is a famous hot spring with the largest amount of natural hot water in Japan. In the center of the town is Yubatake, the largest hot spring supplying Kusatsu Onsen, with cascading gushes of spring water of as much as 4,000 liters per minute. This dynamic, overwhelming display is a must see. Netsu-no-Yu is a facility where you can experience yumomi, the traditional process of lowering the temperature of the hot water by

Yumomi

位有高達2000公尺左右的山脈綿延，東南部則為於日本列島中央附近的群馬縣，在西部及北部各

關東平原的一部份，為一內陸縣。這塊土地自然資源十分豐富，擁有超過100處的溫泉名勝及大型溼地，也是著名的戶外活動聖地。縣內大致可分為五個地區。吾妻地區 ——位於群馬縣西部，有溫泉、溪谷、滑雪場等，是讓您盡情享受大自然恩惠的好去處。

其中草津溫泉更高居日本溫泉中天然湧泉量之冠，可說是日本相當具代表性的名溫泉。草津溫泉湧泉量最多的泉源位於溫泉街的中心部，稱作「湯畑」，每分鐘湧出4000公升的溫泉水，傾洩而下宛如瀑布，其姿態豪爽而壯觀，不容錯過。而在熱之湯，您還可以觀賞到草津溫泉傳統的泡溫

stirring it with wooden blades about 1.8 meters long so as not to lose the good benefits of the hot spring water of Kusatsu Onsen by diluting it with cold water. The water of Kusatsu Onsen is highly acidic and is said to melt a one-yen coin in one week and a big nail in ten days. The water is very beneficial; the only disease it cannot cure is said to be lovesickness. There are many day-trip bathing facilities and public baths. Don’t forget to try onsen manju (Japanese steamed cake with a sweet red bean paste filling) and onsen tamago (eggs slowly cooked in hot springs to the point where the whites are still soft but the yolks are slightly hardened) with a custard cream-like texture. Yugama is a crater lake located at the top of Mt. Shirane about 30 minutes from Kusatsu Onsen by bus. The strongly acidic lake (pH 1.2) is a beautiful emerald green seen against the backdrop of the stark landscape. The mountains are dotted with ski slopes, so this area is also a good place for winter sports. To the east of Kusatsu Onsen is Shima Onsen, surrounded by mountains. Yamaguchi

Rotenburo (open-air bath) along the river is a free public bath open to anyone. The water of Shima Onsen is good for drinking and is believed to cure stomach and intestinal problems. At various locations in the town, you can find places to drink the hot spring water. Don’t drink too much at first. Try a bit and see how you feel. Dishes made with the freshwater fish from the Shima River are a must. There are many different types of hotels in this area, from traditional ryokan (Japanese-style hotels) to modern hotels.

The Tone/Numata Area —This area provides the beautiful scenery of the valley of the Tone River winding through hot spring villages, outdoor activities in the mountain streams, and the opportunity to hike through one of Japan’s largest marshlands.

Minakami Onsen, located along the Tone River, is famous for its beautiful valley setting. You can relax there in the midst of abundant nature overlooking Mt. Tanigawa-dake. Located east of Minakami Onsen is Takaragawa Onsen

with a large open-air bath that is popular. In summer, you can enjoy rafting and canyoning (US: canyoneering) down the valley streams. You may want to try catching trout by hand and picking fruit, or decide to participate in any small local festival you come across. The many winter activities including skiing and snowy nature tours are sure to be fun. Takumi-no-Sato is a village offering a variety of hands-on activities. You can learn woodwork, bamboo work, indigo dyeing, and straw work from expert artisans at the craft studios. Because the village is large, renting a bike is a good idea. Oze, the most renowned marshland in Japan, is a popular destination for trekkers. The colonies of white arum and daylilies are breathtaking in early summer, and the beautiful red autumn leaves are splendid in fall. Hatomachi Pass, the starting point for trekking, can be accessed from Numata Station on the JR Joetsu Line. Make sure to prepare for a real mountain hike: wear shoes suitable for climbing and hiking, bring rain gear, and so on.

泉方法之一「湯揉」。所謂「湯揉」，是為了不破壞溫泉原有的效果，不加冷水稀釋，而用長達1.8公尺的木板攪拌溫泉源泉水使之降溫的作業。您也可以親身體驗「湯揉」的樂趣唷！草津溫泉的溫泉為強酸泉，能在一個禮拜內讓一枚一元日幣溶化，大釘子也只需十天左右，可見其酸性之強，據說這麼強的殺菌力除了相思病以外無不藥到病除。草津溫泉擁有不少提供可純泡溫泉的設施和公共浴池，而溫泉饅頭和口感軟潤的溫泉蛋也值得一試。湯釜是位於白根山頂的火口湖，從草津的溫泉街搭巴士三十分鐘左右可到，這個強酸湖PH值高達1.2，湖水呈現輝煌的祖母綠，與週遭荒涼的氣氛成了強烈的對比。周遭山邊也有數所滑雪場，可以享受冬季運動的樂趣。位於草津溫泉東邊的是四萬溫泉，是位於山間、自然

風景優美的溫泉名勝。坐落在河邊的山口露天溫泉浴池免費開放，是能享受野外風情的公共浴場。此外四萬溫泉的溫泉水可以生飲，據說可治療腸胃病。在溫泉街上的許多地方都有飲泉處，如果身體情況還不錯的話，就來挑戰一下喝溫泉吧！使用在四萬川釣到的淡水魚所烹調的料理也讓人食指大動。在四萬溫泉，從老牌旅館到現代化的飯店應有盡有，種類豐富。利根沼田地區 ——本地區觀光資源豐富，除能欣賞宛若串連群馬縣各個溫泉名勝的利根川的溪谷之美以及利用其溪流來進行的戶外活動外，也可在日本屈指可數的大型溼地上進行健行活動。

水上溫泉位於利根川河畔，是能飽覽溪谷之美的溫泉名勝。在能一望谷川岳的美麗自然環境之中，讓您可以好好悠閒地度個假。位於水上溫泉東邊的寶川溫泉

Canyoning

也因有大型露天浴池而相當受歡迎。夏天時可進行泛舟、溪降運動。而抓鱒魚、摘水果或是臨時起意去參加當地的祭典等也很有趣。冬天則可以進行滑雪、雪上自然探訪之旅等各式各樣的雪上活動。而匠之里則是擁有木工、竹編、藍染、草編等許多工作坊林立形成一座大型體驗型設施。對哪種工藝感興趣便可以接受該項工藝的師傅親自傳授，機會難得喔！而由於匠之里佔地廣大，建議租台腳踏車移動會方便很多。此外，日本代表性的大型溼地尾瀨是相當受歡迎的健行熱門地點。夏初有水芭蕉和日光黃菅花群落盛開，而秋天則有美麗的紅葉賞心悅目。健行的起點為鳩待嶺，可以從JR上越線的沼田站搭巴士前往。由於當地位於山岳地帶，如要前往最好準備適合登山或是健行用的鞋子或雨具等裝備。

Daruma Bento

The West Area —This area includes many interesting places to visit including Takasaki City, one of the largest commercial cities in Gunma, and Tomioka Silk Mill, Japan’s first mechanical silk mill.

Takasaki City is the local traffic hub and has a bullet train station. The population is 370,000 and is the largest city in Gunma Prefecture. The Byakue-daikannon (a large statue of the Kannon Goddess in a white robe), 41.8 meters high, is located about 20 minutes from Takasaki Station and has been a beloved symbol of Takasaki since its foundation in 1936. The inside of the statue is nine stories high, and, from the top floor is a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. Takasaki also has the largest production of papier-mâché daruma (Japanese dolls modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism), usually colored vivid red and in a cute round shape. Shorinzan Daruma-ji Temple is the origin of these good luck daruma. The Daruma-ichi (daruma market) is held on January 6 and 7 every year, and the more than 100 stalls selling daruma attract many people. It is about 20 minutes by bus from Takasaki Station to the

temple. Daruma can be purchased throughout the year at Daimon-ya across the Usui River from the temple. This shop is popular because you can draw the eyes and/or a mustache on a daruma to make an original face. If you are at Takasaki Station, try the popular Daruma Bento ekiben (box lunches sold at stations). Tomioka Silk Mill in Tomioka City, the first government-run industrial silk mill, was established in 1872 by the government aiming to modernize the country. In those days, it was one of the largest silk mills in the world. After closing down in 1987, it was designated a national historic site, an important asset with original warehouses and silk reeling factory. Furthermore, it was inscribed on Japan’s World Heritage Tentative List in 2007. When you step into the silk reeling factory, you will be amazed by the huge area without supporting pillars for the silk reeling mill that was operated by 300 workers.

The Central Area —The area including Maebashi, the prefectural capital city, is home to a variety of distinguished local foods. Ikaho Onsen in the western part is a nostalgic hot spring resort, famous for its stone steps.

Maebashi is located at the foot of Mt. Akagi and is blessed with the beautiful waters of the Tone and Hirose rivers. If you have time, visit the 153-meter-tall prefectural building, the tallest prefectural government building in Japan excluding the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Tower. It offers great views of the mountains from the free observatory on the 32nd floor. Some of the largest pork shipments in Japan come from Maebashi and it is known for tasty pork. Many restaurants in the city serve a variety of pork dishes, including pork shabu shabu (thinly sliced pork submerged in boiling water for a few seconds, then dipped in a sauce), pork soup, and horumon (pork giblets). You must try sosu katsudon (pork cutlet on rice topped with Worcestershire-like sauce), said to have originated in Gunma. The tender pork and crispy batter with sauce-soaked rice is yummy! The dome northwest of Maebashi Station is the Green Dome Maebashi, Japan’s first allweather indoor track for keirin, track cycling races originating in Japan. Enjoy the unique atmosphere heavy with the excitement of fast racers and the excited audience. Ikaho Onsen, a hot spring resort located 800 meters above sea level on the slopes of Mt.

西部地區 ——在此區有代表群馬縣的商業都市高崎以及日本第一間機械製絲廠─富岡製絲廠等，盡是旅遊好去處。

高崎為新幹線停靠站，是交通重鎮，人口37萬人，也是群馬縣內人口最多的都市。從高崎站搭巴士約20分鐘左右處有一高達41.8公尺的觀音像，為白衣大觀音，自1936年建立以來便成了高崎的象徵，觀音內部又分為九個樓層，最上層可以俯瞰周遭的山巒風光。高崎同時也是外表為鮮紅色、樣貌可愛討喜的紙漿工藝吉祥物「達磨不倒翁」著名生產地，產量全日本第一。而少林山達磨寺則是紙漿工藝不倒翁的起源地。每年1月的6、7日會舉辦販賣不倒翁的不倒翁市集，會有一百多間的不倒翁攤一齊開賣，屆時遊客如織，相當熱鬧，從高崎站搭巴士前往約20分鐘左右。而從達磨寺越過碓冰川的另一頭的「大門屋」則是讓您一年四季都可以買到不倒翁，而且還可以親自手繪不倒翁的眼睛和

鬍子，生意相當興隆。在高崎站也別忘了嘗嘗人氣鐵路便當、達磨不倒翁便當唷！而位於富岡市的富岡製絲廠是1872年時，當時的政府為了推動日本近代化，在富岡設置了第一所官營機械製絲廠，也是當時世界上屈指可數的製絲廠之一。在 1987年結束運作後，當時使用的倉庫和繅絲廠作為貴重的遺產被保存下來，後獲指定為國家史跡，並在2007 年登錄在日本的世界遺產暫定名單中。當您進入繅絲廠的建築物內部後，會發現中央沒有樑柱，並訝異其空間之寬廣。創業之時可是有接近三百台人工操作的繅絲機，可見往昔盛況。縣央地區 ——以縣廳所在地「前橋」為中心的本區，有不少富有特色的當地美食。而西邊則是有著石階街道、古色古香的伊香保溫泉。

前橋位於赤城山的中部，有利根川、廣瀨川等清流流

經，深受其惠。如果有時間，不妨到這高達153公尺，為日本最高的縣廳大樓看看吧！在位於 Onsen Manju 32樓的免費展望室，您可以一覽周圍的山巒風光。而豬肉出貨量為全國數一數二的前橋這幾年也成為著名的豬肉料理之都。在前橋市的料理店裡，您可以吃到豬肉涮涮鍋、豬肉味增湯、豬內臟等各式各樣的豬肉料理，更別忘了來嘗一下據說是群馬縣首創的「淋醬豬排蓋飯」唷！柔軟的豬肉、口感酥脆的外皮配上滲入醬汁的白飯，絕對讓您讚不絕口！位於前橋站的西北方的巨蛋，是前橋綠色巨蛋（Green Dome前橋），為日本第一間全天候型屋內競輪場，發源於日本的自行車比賽「競輪」會在此舉行。在此地，您可以感受到參賽者和觀眾的熱血沸騰，是相當特別的體驗。位於榛名山山腰，標高800公尺的伊香保溫泉，和草

Haruna , is one of the four major hot spring resorts in the prefecture along with Kusatsu, Minakami, and Shima. The stone stairway at the center of the town is a symbol of Ikaho and game halls and souvenir shops line both sides. Kogane-no-Yu is one of the water sources for Ikaho and is said to have been one since the 6th century. The water is originally transparent but turns brownish-red on contact with the air because the water contains a large amount of iron. The bath of the municipal Ikaho Onsen Rotenburo (open-air bath) is filled with the pure hot spring water, naturally heated and no water added. Ikaho’s must-try food is the brownishred onsen manju, cakes with bean paste similar in color to Kogane-no-Yu. Now, a variety of onsen manju are sold at hot spring resorts all over Japan but Ikaho’s was the first of its kind. Mizusawa udon (wheat noodles) is a specialty of Mizusawa, a town near Ikaho. It is known as one of the three best udon in Japan, along with Sanuki udon of Kagawa Prefecture and Inaniwa udon of Akita Prefecture. The thick noodles with nice, firm texture pleasantly slip down the throat. There are more than ten udon restaurants in this area alone. Don’t miss this taste treat!

The East Area —The warm climate and beautiful flowers in this area welcome you.

Kiryu is a town famous for textiles, indicated by the ancient saying “Nishijin (Kyoto) in the West and Kiryu in the East.” The town has many factories with saw-tooth roofs and Western-style houses, which show the town prospered by the fabric industry. Rental bikes are free at some facilities around the north exit of JR Kiryu Station. Ride around and see the interesting architecture. Watarase Keikoku railway is a private railway running 44.1 kilometers from Kiryu Station to Mato Station in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture. The train goes through the beautiful valley along the Watarase River. Early summer with the beautiful bright green leaves and fall with the brilliant autumn leaves are particularly recommended. Special torokko trains (tour trains with open carriages) run on weekends and peak tourist seasons. The region including Ota and Oizumi, located south of Kiryu, has many factories for Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., known for producing Subaru vehicles. Many engineers from various nations live around the factories, and

restaurants and supermarkets serve and sell international foods and other products. You may find something you cannot find anywhere else in Japan. Ota’s specialty is yakisoba (wheat noodles stir fried with vegetables and flavored with a Worcestershire-like sauce). Unlike regular yakisoba dishes, Ota’s yakisoba noodles are thick, cooked with cabbage only and flavored with a thick original sauce. Tatebayashi, located east of Ota, is home to Tsutsujigaoka Park known for its beautiful azaleas. The gorgeous blossoms of more than 50 kinds of azaleas can be seen from late April to early May. Among the unique azaleas, there are large azalea trees 800 to 1,000 years old, and “space azaleas” from seeds that travelled in space for two weeks in the space shuttle Columbia (launched in 1994) with Ms. Chiaki Mukai, the Japanese astronaut from Tatebayashi City. Gunma Prefecture is a place with a variety of enjoyable things to do and see. Many areas can be reached from Tokyo in only 1-2 hours. Why not include Gunma in your list of travel destinations for this summer?

東部地區 ——溫暖的氣候以及盛開的種種花卉將迎接您的到來。

人稱「西有西陣（京都），東有桐生」，桐生自古以來即是著名的紡織之鎮。走在路上，您可以看到許多代表往昔風光的鋸齒狀屋頂的工廠和洋房被保存得相當良好。從JR桐生站北口有幾個可以免費租借腳踏車的設施，不妨試試騎車兜風繞遍這些美麗的西式建築吧。從桐生站到栃木縣日光市的間藤站間，長達44.1公里的私營鐵路是渡良瀨溪谷鐵道，這是可以欣賞渡良瀨川溪谷之美的鐵路之旅。初夏的嫩綠和秋天的紅葉時期是最適合搭車旅遊的時機，週末或旺季時則有觀光小火車行駛。位於桐生南邊，以太田‧大泉為中心的區域有以製造Subaru汽車出名的富士重工的工廠集中。在工廠附近住著各國工程師，所以週遭的餐廳或超市也出現了

異國料理或商品，說不定您可以在這邊挖到寶唷！而說到太田的名產是炒麵，麵條粗，配料簡單只有高麗菜一樣，重口味的醬汁是其最大的特徵。而位於太田東邊的館林則有杜鵑花的名勝─杜鵑花之岡公園，從四月下旬到五月上旬之間，有五十種以上的杜鵑花盛開。還有樹齡高達八百歲、甚至一千歲的巨大杜鵑花樹，以及在1994年發射的太空梭「哥倫比亞號」內，和館林市人的太空人向井千秋一起到宇宙進行兩個禮拜之旅的種子發芽長成的「宇宙杜鵑花」等較為珍貴的品種。魅力多元的群馬縣，從東京出發只需要1～2個小時，交通非常方便。今年夏天，就到群馬縣走走吧！

Omori / Oimachi

okyo Bay area is home to a variety of amusement facilities. This area is also dotted with historical sites including ancient sites from the Jomon era (10,000 B.C.4th century B.C.) and the Edo era (1603-1867). Why not stoll around the coastal area and see these other aspects of Tokyo while enjoying the soothing sea breeze? Get off at Keikyu Heiwajima Station and go to east. After a 15-minute walk, you will reach Omori Furusato no Hamabe Park (Beach Side Park) with its lovely white sand beach. The factories along the shore make an interesting contrast with the sea and seagulls. In the past, the cultivation of nori (seaweed), which is dried and used for nori-maki or sushi wrapped in laver, prospered in this area. The Omori Nori Museum has displays depicting the nori cultivation and offers hands-on activities of drying and making laver. (Instruction is in Japanese only) http://norinoyakata.web.fc2.com/index.html

There are large parks and other entertainment facilities stretching along the vast shores of the bay. Heiwajima Natural Hot Spring spa is located in Big Fun Heiwajima.

Atami, the Entrance to the East Izu Area Atami City has long been one of the most famous hot spring resorts, with a lot of hotels and inns along the streets. At Atami Plum Blossom Park, some of the 730 plum trees in the park start to bloom as early as December, and blossoms can be enjoyed through March. The MOA Museum is located on a hill that commands a panoramic view of Sagami Bay. The museum houses approximately 3,500 pieces of Oriental art works, which include three Japanese national treasures. Kiunkaku is a traditional Japanese mansion built in 1919, which was once used as a hotel. Many famous literary figures loved to stay there. The garden of Kiunkaku mansion is beautiful in lush greenery.

Ito, One of the Best Hot Springs in the Izu Peninsula Ito City has long been visited by many writers and poets, so stone monuments inscribed with those artists’ famous words and lyrics are found in the city. The main streets of Ito are Yunohana Street and Kinema Street, where a lot of restaurants and souvenir shops are along the street. Many shops selling dried fish are found along Kaigan (“Seaside”) Street. Walking along the Matsukawa River will take you to an old building, Tokaikan. This former hotel operated from 1928 to 1997. The old Japanese hotel building has an impressive observatory tower. At present, the hotel is closed, but the hot spring bath house in the building is open to day trippers. Nagisa Park commands a view of Hatsu-shima Island, Manazuru Peninsula, and in the distance, Miura Peninsula. Camellias and azaleas are very beautiful in Komuroyama Park.

Izu Kogen, Highlands Redolent With a Scent of Art Lake Ippeki is a small lake created by volcanic activity with a circumference of 4 km. It only takes an hour to walk around the lake. You can enjoy birds singing, cherry blossoms in spring,

and autumn leaves. You can find a conspicuously shaped grass mountain, Mt. Omuro. It looks like an upside down rice bowl. Take the lift to the top, and weather permitting, you can command a view of Mt. Fuji, the Amagi Mountains, and the Izu Islands. Izu Shaboten Koen, (Cactus Park) is situated at the foot of Mt. Omuro. In addition to this, there are more tourist attractions around this resort such as museums, nice cafes, shops, and restaurants. Jogasaki Kaigan has a trekking path along the rocky coast line. As you walk, the vista of Sagami Bay spreads in the distance. You can cross a thrilling suspension bridge, Kadowaki Suspension Bridge, which is the highlight of this trekking course.

Atagawa, Famous for Beach Hot Springs Atagawa Tropical & Alligator Garden is a theme park which makes full use of its abundant hot spring energy. The park features 200 alligators comprising 22 species from all over the world, and about 9,000 kinds of tropical plants and fruit are well kept in the hot house.

Inatori, Proud of Having the No. 1 Catch of Kinmedai Inatori Port takes pride in having the No.1 catch of kinmedai, a very delicious fish, in the Izu Peninsula. The local kinmedai is highly recommended among the local fish. Especially, nitsuke, a dish of kinmedai cooked in broth, tastes excellent. This area displays decorative tsurushi bina, hina dolls suspended from the ceiling, for Girls’ Day.

Kawazu, the City of Beautiful Cherry Blossoms Go south from Atagawa, and you will come to Kawazu, famous for Kawazu Cherry Blossoms. Since the cherry blossoms bloom earlier than in any other area in Honshu, from February to March, a lot of tourists visit Kawazu every year at this time. The city has hot springs and beaches, too.

Shimoda, a Stage of Japanese History In 1854, American warships commanded by Commodore Matthew Perry came to Shimoda. They came to demand that Japan open the country to foreign trade. You can enjoy strolling and thinking about this history along Perry Road. Some temples in Shimoda are closely associated with the history of abolishing the National Isolation Policy. The traditional stone made buildings of Izu and namako walls (lattice patterned walls made of plaster and tiles) are found in the town. They are very unique to this area. Gas lights are lit at night creating a nostalgic atmosphere. Mt. Nesugata is named for the shape which is like that of a woman lying on her back. The top of Mt. Nesugata affords a magnificent view of the Izu Islands and the Amagi Mountains. Shimoda Aquarium puts on wonderful dolphin shows and visitors can play with the dolphins. There are many hot springs including Rendaiji, and Shimogamo. Yumigahama Beach, which literally means a “bow beach,” is named for

its arched coastline. In summer, many sea bathers visit this white sand beach. The view from Irozaki Promontory at the tip of the Izu Peninsula is breathtakingly magnificent.

Shuzenji, the Oldest Hot Spring in Izu Shuzen-ji Temple was founded in 807 by Kobo Daishi, a great Buddhist priest. Shuzenji Town has many historic spots and hot spring resorts. “Tokko no Yu” is said to be the oldest hot spring source found in Izu. A tourist hiking path runs through the bamboo forests along the Katsura River. You can find tea houses and galleries along the way. Also, you cannot miss the Hakoyu Hot Spring bath with its noticeable 12-meter tower. You can enjoy the sparkling spring-time ocean view and beautiful autumn leaves in Shuzenji Park.

Amagi, the Town Surrounded by Rich Nature Go further south from Shuzenji, and you arrive at Amagi Onsen Hot Spring Resort. The thick forests and ravines are beautiful. There are seven hot springs along the Kano River. Of one of them, Yugashima Hot Spring, was a particular favorite of many writers. Yasunari Kawabata, the winner of Nobel Prize in Literature, wrote “The Dancing Girl of Izu” here. Go down 180 stairs by the wasabi horseradish fields, and you will come to Joren Fall. The sound of water falling into the basin under the waterfall is thunderously impressive. You will feel refreshed by the cool spray of the waterfall. Go up the zigzag curves of Old Amagi Street, and you will find Old Amagi Tunnel, which appears in “The Dancing Girl of Izu.” Walk through the tunnel, and go on to Kawazu Seven Falls, some of which are big, some small.

Specialties Kinmedai and other fresh seafood are recommended. Wild boar stew and wasabi horseradish are traditional specialties, while wasabi soft ice cream is a new and unique one. Izu is relatively close to Tokyo, and known as one of the best hot spring resorts in Japan. Izu also has a lot of tourist attractions. Why not visit Izu?

ikuchigawa Onsen is the collective name of all the hot spring resorts including but not limited to Yamaga Onsen, Hirayama, Tamana Onsen, Ueki Onsen, and Kikuchi Onsen along the Kikuchi River that f lows through northern Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu. The origin of Yamaga Onsen is “Sakurayu,” a historic hot spring bath which boasts water so soft it is called “maiden’s skin.” It is tentatively closed for renovation but scheduled to re-open in 2012. There is a foot bath along Buzen Road, where you can soak your feet in the hot springs that will relax and warm the body as well. The road north from Kumamoto to KitaKyushu/Kokura in Fukuoka Prefecture is called Buzen Road. The hot spring town in this area prospered as a way station for daimyo (warlords) to stay during the Edo period (1603-1867). Visitors these days enjoy strolling in the town, relaxing at a restaurant and shopping in one of the many shops in the old merchants’ houses. Yachiyo-za is a kabuki theater that was built more than 100 years ago. The theater has re-

tained the style and arts of the Edo period, and is designated a national important cultural asset. A variety of events take place in Yamaga and among the many is the Yamaga Tourou (Lantern Festival), an elegant event held every August. During the festival, the entire town is lit with Japanese paper lanterns. In February, the Yamaga Tourou Roman Festival is held every Friday and Saturday of the month, creating a fantastic atmosphere throughout the town. Yamaga tourou (lanterns) are made in the traditional manner by local artisans. They are made with washi (Japanese paper) using a minimum amount of glue. New ones are made each year and dedicated to Yamaga Tourou Festival in August. The Yamaga Lantern Folkcraft Museum, housed in a sophisticated yet nostalgic Westernstyle building, has a display of the materials and information on Yamaga lanterns.

Kofu tori motsu-ni

享受日本的B級當地美食

Simple, cheap, ordinary but true taste temptations in Japan such as ramen, okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pancakes), udon (noodles made from wheat flour), yakisoba (fried noodles), curry rice, hamburgers, and donburi (bowl of rice with a variety of toppings) are called B-kyu gurume (B-class gourmet cuisine). B-kyu gurume dishes, well known to all the locals but not to most outsiders, are usually prepared using mainly local ingredients and are referred to as B-kyu gotochi gurume (B-class local gourmet dishes). B-kyu gotochi gurume embodies the charm of local ingredients and the local culture and has been attracting more and more attention these days.

Hiruzen yakisoba

B-1 Grand Prix

日常生活中可以吃到的既便宜又大眾化，卻又很好吃的料理就是所謂的B級美食，

The “B-1 Grand Prix” is an annual B-kyu Gotochi Gurume Festival that began in 2006. Local members of the "Ai B League," (“We love B League”) compete against each other for the championship prize. Unlike other cooking contests, the aim of the B-1 Grand Prix is not only to find the best tastes but also recognition of the local areas of the participating groups. At the 5th Annual B-1 Grand Prix held in Atsugi City, Kanagawa Prefecture, in September 2010, there were 46 participating groups and 435,000 visitors enjoyed the various local dishes during the two-day festival. The 2010 champion was "Kofu tori motsu-ni," chicken giblets in a thick sweet-salty glaze made with sugar and soy sauce. It has been pleasing the palates of customers at soba restaurants in Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, for many years. The runner-up was "Hiruzen yakisoba" from Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture. This yakisoba dish containing chicken is Hachinohe senbei-jiru cooked with a jingisukan (mutton barbecue) sauce and a miso-based sauce. "Hachinohe senbei-jiru," a soup prepared with pieces of the specialty Nambu senbei (rice crackers) cooked in miso with plenty of local vegetables, came in third. The 6th annual B-1 Grand Prix will be held in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, on November 12 and 13, 2011.

凡舉拉麵及大阪燒、烏龍麵、炒麵、咖哩飯、漢堡、蓋飯類等。其中又以富有地方特色、便宜、好吃、對當地居民而言是理所當然的料理，但是對外地人來說卻是很稀奇少見的，等具備這些條件的，又被譽為B級當地美食，傳遞了各處地方魅力訊息成為了近年來備受矚目的焦點。

B-1冠軍賽從2006年起每年舉辦的B級當地美食祭典-「B-1冠軍賽」。加盟了愛B協會（B級當地美食愛好者的組織）的地方團體相互競爭一較上下。跟一般的料理大賽不同，B-1冠軍賽的也朝向希望大家能提升對該地方的認知度而努力。於2010年 9月在神奈川縣厚木市所舉行的第5屆B-1冠軍賽中，共有46個團體參加展出，為期2天的活動期間當中居然有43.5萬人之多來賓前往品嚐各地料理共襄盛舉。在本冠軍賽中榮獲第一名冠軍寶座的是「甲府滷雞內臟」。將雞內臟以砂糖和醬油滷得入味香甜又辛辣，是山梨縣甲府市的蕎麥麵店中從很早以前就受大眾歡迎的一道美味。第二名是岡山縣真庭市的「蒜山炒麵」，用的是成吉思汗烤肉醬及味噌醬汁調配而材料用的是雞肉。第三名是青森縣八戶市的「八戶仙貝汁火鍋」。善用了地方出產的蔬菜所烹煮出的味噌火鍋湯頭中，把當地的南部仙貝餅弄破後放進去煮出來的料理。 2011年的B-1冠軍賽預定在11月12～ 13日於姬路舉行。

Start of the Boom The B-kyu gotouchi gurume boom started when "Fujinomiya yakisoba" from Fujinomiya City, Shizuoka Prefecture, took the gold at the 1st and 2nd B-1 Grand Prix competitions. This dish includes original noodles sprinkled with small pieces of meat (degreased meat chips) and fish powder. More and more people have been coming to Fujinomiya just to eat this yakisoba.

■風潮的先驅者掀起了B級當地美食風潮的是靜岡縣富士宮市的「富士宮炒麵」，並且在第一屆及第二屆的B-1冠軍賽中榮獲了金牌冠軍。獨特的麵條上灑遍了肉屑（去脂的肉片屑）和刨魚粉，為了想來一嚐這道美味特地前往到訪富士宮的人絡繹不絕。

Basic Japanese Home Cooking

Let’s learn from a veteran Japanese housewife!

冷しゃぶ Rei Shabu

Cold Meat Shabu Shabu Ingredients (serves 4) 300-400 g sliced pork (if available, pork for shabu shabu) 2 cucumbers 200 g daikon (white radish) 80 g piece of carrot

1 tomato grated daikon to taste chili pepper to taste 30 ml sake

Dressing (ponzu sauce): 100ml soy sauce 100ml citrus juice (lemon, yuzu, sudachi, daidai, etc.)

Cooking directions: att. Recipe

Julienne the cucumbers, daikon, and carrot into strips 5 cm long. Cut the tomato into 8 vertical wedges. Katsura-muki: The usual method of cutting cylindrical vegetables such as daikon and carrots is julienne in which the vegetables are cut into 5-cm long pieces, the sides squared, and then each section cut into julienne strips of 1-2 mm wide ‘matchsticks.’ However, the traditional method to prepare Japanese cuisine called katsura-muki, is different. After peeling a 5-cm long piece of daikon, a layer as thinly as possible is peeled off in one continuous sheet by holding the knife in one hand and turning the vegetable in the other. Then, the peeled off sheet is cut into 1-2 mm strips. For katsura-muki, a sharp knife and a lot of practice are essential.

Other vegetables, such as onions, lettuce, and broccoli, can also be used.

To cut a tomato cleanly and easily, a sharp knife is necessary.

Cut the pork into bite-sized pieces. Boil the water in a pan, add the sake and turn the heat down to medium. Put each piece of pork in the water one by one and, when the piece becomes pink, remove it, submerge it in cold water to cool and then place in a colander to drain. Ponzu dressing: Cut the daidai in half and squeeze out the juice. Mix with soy sauce to make ponzu. It is better to cool the meat immediately in the cold water. If available, put ice cubes in the water.

Place the pork and vegetables on a plate and serve with ponzu dressing, the grated daikon, and chili pepper to taste.

If the pork is cooled in the water too long, it will become hard so it is best to drain it after only 10-15 seconds.

Tips:

Instructor: Kazuko Karasawa I learned cooking from my parents, who ran a Japanese restaurant, and my grandmother, who lived to be 100 years old. As a housewife, I've been cooking for 18 years. I like cooking everyday, taking care of my family’s health.

For the dressing, ponzu can be replaced by a sesame sauce or other dressing to your taste that is available on the market. There are many ways to make ponzu, such as with a dashi (dried bonito shavings) soup and mirin (sweet sake). Why not find your favorite taste by trying a variety of ingredients?

For more details, go to http://www.att-japan.net/recipe/ high heat

medium heat

low heat

Japanese Liquid Measures: 1 cup = 200 ml = 6.76 fl oz / 1 tablespoon = 15 ml = 0.5 fl oz / 1 teaspoon = 5 ml = 0.16 fl oz

This is very easy to cook and very delicious! Because the pork is low calorie and accompanied by a lot of delicious vegetables, this is a very healthy dish.

Student: Laetitia Ogawa I was born in France and grew up there. I married a Japanese man. Because Japanese food is good for the health and my son and husband both like it very much, I want to master Japanese recipes.

Tourist Information Transportation / 交通

Rail 鐵路 Japan is covered in a rail network that reaches to almost every corner of the archipelago. Most are owned and run by the Japan Railway (JR) system and the world famous “Shinkansen” bullet train is of course one of the fastest and most enjoyable forms of land transport anywhere – the distance between Tokyo and Osaka being covered in just 2hrs 30 mins on the fastest line. 日本的鐵路網相當發達，從日本國內到各處幾乎利用鐵路可到達，主要有JR(Japan Railway Co., Ltd., 日本旅客鐵路)運行著，在這當中藉由世界上也很有名的「新幹線」之移動，一定會是日本旅行中最印象深刻的活動之一。東京─大阪間最快是2個小時30分。

Japan Rail Pass Japan Rail Pass allows you to use the whole JR system (including the Shinkansen) but is only sold outside Japan. 28,300 yen gets you a full 7 day ticket (adults).

Transportation cards/useful tickets 划算的交通卡

駕駛員，請駕駛員到達目的地時通知一下。

If planning to stay in Japan for a longer period why not try using IC cards? (500 yen deposit returned when returning the card) Simply touch the card on a rectangular pad beside the ticket gate and the fare used is automatically deducted from the value of the card. In Tokyo the cards are known as Suica or PASMO and are accepted on JR lines, subways and most other railways and buses. Tokyo Furii Kippu (東京フリーきっぷ) (www.jreast. co.jp/e/pass/) is available for use on JR lines (inside Tokyo’s 23 wards), subways, and the Toei Bus service for one whole day – ending at midnight – at a charge of 1,580 yen.

Taxis 計程車 Japanese taxis can be found at the exit to every train station in the country or alternatively hailed on the streets. The red sign visible through the windshield of the car: “空車” (kusha) means it is vacant and available for hire but when the sign reads “賃走” (chinso), it is unavailable. The back door on the left side will open and close automatically so be careful not to stand too close! (All the other doors are operated manually) Rates vary depending on the taxi company but usually start at a fixed rate of 710 yen (in Tokyo) for the first two kilometers. The rate system is shown inside the taxi and receipts can be issued. In urban areas, you can usually pay by credit card for a taxi. If credit cards are accepted, a taxi has a sticker showing this on the window.

如果預定在日本逗留一些時間的話，不妨試試看IC卡吧！(購入時要付¥500的保證金，將卡歸還時，保證金會退還給您。)在剪票機旁的讀取機上觸摸一下，運費會從卡上自動被扣取。在東京地區Suica和PASMO兩者除了JR線、地下鐵、其他大部分的私鐵之外，也可搭乘巴士。

除了可搭乘等候在車站前的計程車外，在路上也可叫到計程

Long-distance buses in Japan are run by numerous companies including JR. Buses are generally more economic than traveling by plane or train but do take longer and can be affected by traffic jams at busy times of the day or night. Local buses run all over Japan as well as in the major cities and sometimes English instructions or stop announcements are used but this is not the case everywhere. We would recommend you ask drivers to remind you of where you must disembark prior to setting off.

Limousine Bus / Limousine 巴士 03-3665-7220 In big cities, such as Tokyo and Osaka, the under and over ground train system is well organized and highly efficient accessing any and all parts of the cities.

Tourist Information Money / 貨幣

Telephone Service / 電話

You can cash traveler’s checks at many banks. Traveler’s checks can also be used at hotels, ryokan Japanese style hotels, and shops in big cities. Credit cards can be widely used in urban areas, but sometimes are not accepted at shops in rural areas.

Public telephones can be found almost everywhere in Japan and most can be used to make domestic and international calls. Only 10 or 100 yen coins can be used but all telephones take pre-paid telephone cards – purchase in convenience stores for 500 or 1000 yen.If you use a calling card when you make an international call, it can reduce your calling rate.
