explanation: Located in the south of Gunma prefecture, Takasaki has been always an important crossroads since old times. After the construction of a castle by Ii Naomasa in 1598, it became not only a post town but castle and market town of regional products such as silk and dyes. Now, thanks to its railroad hub of 6 lines, many modern industries have also developed such as electric appliance, mechanics, chemistry. Huge Kannon statue and Daruma doll market attract many tourists. The population is 238,000.
