Fujioka
Fujioka lies along the Kannagawa River, where the Kanto Plain meets the lower slopes of Gunma’s interior. This southwestern Gunma city occupies a transport corridor between Takasaki and Saitama Prefecture on the opposite side of the river. Residential districts, roadside businesses and farmland share the surrounding lowlands. Fujioka also holds an important place in Japan’s silk heritage: the Takayama-sha Sericulture School developed methods for raising silkworms and forms part of the UNESCO-listed Tomioka Silk Mill and Related Sites. Its historic grounds stand in the city’s more mountainous northwest, while the river plain is the commercial and civic centre of daily life.

Gunma Prefecture is best known within Japan for Kusatsu Onsen, one of the country’s most celebrated hot-spring resorts. Set inland northwest of Tokyo, it spans fertile sections of the Kantō Plain and mountain country along its western and northern edges. The Tone River, Japan’s second-longest river, rises in these mountains and feeds farms, reservoirs and towns. Mount Akagi is a prominent volcanic landmark above the Maebashi area. Gunma also preserves a major chapter of industrial heritage at the Tomioka Silk Mill, Japan’s first modern silk-reeling factory and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
