Pottery statue of Tanuki (raccoon dog), Takaragawa Onsen, Minami City, Gunma prefecture, Japan. Tanuki is one of the figures of Japanese folklore. With its four large-scale open air baths the Takaragawa onsen is probably one of the most beautiful spas in Japan. At one hour from Tokyo by Shinkansen speed-train, the Gunma prefecture is famous for its natural beauty and spa resorts.
