Shima Onsen is a hot spring resort located in Joshinetsu Kogen National Park in the northwestern part of Gunma Prefecture.Shima Onsen has a legend that there is a sacred spring that heals 40,000 illnesses since olden times, and it is a good hot spring recognized by the government as the first national resort designated as a national recreational hot spring area.You can experience Shima Onsen in each of the four seasons, such as the contrast between Oku-Shima Lake, which turns a brilliant azure color called Shima Blue, and Shima Lake and fresh greenery, and the open-air baths where you can warm your body and soul as you watch the snowfall.

You can also experience a variety of activities. SUP and canoe tours on Oku-Shima Lake and Shima Lake, smart ball in the Shima hot spring resort area, and strolling around the hot spring resort area are also recommended. The somewhat nostalgic old-fashioned atmosphere of the town is photogenic and relaxing, and will make your Shima stroll memorable. You might even meet an antelope in the nature-rich Shima Onsen...?

Other tourist attractions include three footbaths in the Shima Onsen area, the oldest temple building in Gunma Prefecture, the Hinatami Yakusido, and a café if you get hungry. Shima Onsen sweets and local beer also make great souvenirs.

To get around the Shima Onsen area, the Shima Onsen 2-day bus ticket allows you to get on and off as many times as you like during the period of use. Enjoy a great deal on your excursion with the mobile ticket, which allows you to ride the bus between Nakanojo Station and Shima Onsen for two days.
