In the Southeast corner of Gunma prefecture, a rural countryside prefecture, nestles and series of medium sized cities with tons to explore. One of these cities being the capital of Maebashi, which is where I went this week. What I didn't expect, however, was to find so many cool places to explore! Just about every corner I turned was some new life.
If you don't know anything about Gunma, it's a very mountainous region of Japan, and has many onsen deeper into the prefecture, but we aren't going there this time. Stay tuned though, maybe sometime down the line? Hopefully? Anyway, some folks might know of Gunma as the place in which the anime, Initial D, takes place. If you don't know it, definitely recommend a watch.
Being that this week we're just exploring aimlessly, I traveled fairly lightly bringing only my OM-1 and a couple rolls of Portra, meaning this time is really just dedicated to exploration and finding new places.
I really had fun exploring this week, so if you want to see more content like this, I'd love to see you again!
If you have any ideas or questions, feel free to ask down in the comments!
