A later edition of a 1958 print picturing the sun setting behind the distant mountains behind the Alpine village of Minakami, a hot spring and ski resort. The Tone River, seen in the foreground, reflects the last of the sunset's glow.
Minakami
Source: website of Japan-guide.com www.japan-guide.com/e/e7460.htmlinakami (水上) is a mountainous hot spring resort town within easy reach of Tokyo in northern Gunma Prefecture. In the shadow of nearby Mount Tanigawa, Minakami, together with Kusatsu, Ikaho, and Shima, make up the four best known hot spring towns of Gunma. Perhaps its most famous baths are found at Takaragawa Onsen, a mixed hot spring with some of the largest outdoor baths in Japan.
