The long slopes
Mt. Akagi
Mt. Akagi is fairly close to Maebashi and as a result has a bit more going on. For our first visit to Akagi, we decided to visit Akagi Shrine, and Doitsu-mura.
Akagi Shrine was really nice. The trees around the shrine created an atmosphere of calm, and peace with nature.
Doitsu-mura on the other hand was like so many Japanese attempts to re-create foreign culture... a huge mess. They had New Zealand sheep, Mexican desserts, and a go-cart track... What about this was German again? Oh yeah the sausage. They did have good sausages. My friends (who has been to Germany) said were pretty close to the real thing... But I think its a little unfair to call yourself a "German Village" if only your sausages are German...
Further trips to Akagi included the Senbon-zakura cherry blossoms, and the Gunma Flower Park. All worth the trip up the long sloped roads.
