A little rural reprieve not far from the capital, the city of Chichibu draws visitors with its vibrant landscape and pleasant, low-key urban attractions.

Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Chichibu: Ashikaga (Yagumo Shrine & Ashikaga Flower Park), Ikaho Stone Steps (in Shibukawa) and Izuruhara Benten Pond (in Sano).
