Incidentally, Gunma prefecture has many wonderful hot springs.
Nearby ARC is the Ikaho Onsen Hot Spring area, 5 minutes by car from the museum. Drive for about an hour and you will find the Shima Onsen. http://www.shimaonsen.com/
Nakanojo city where the Shima Onsen is located has been holding the art project “Nakanojo Biennale” since 2007.
The second Biennale is on view until September 23. http://www.bi-ku.com/nakanojo/
