Living in Maebashi:

Maebashi is the capital of Gunma prefecture and is located at the northwest end of the Kanto plain and on the south skirt of the Mt. Akagi. The Tone river (Tonegawa) runs through the middle of the city.
Although it is hot during the summer (average in August is 31.3℃), it is not so cold in the winter (average in January is -0.8℃) and it rarely snows.
There are many famous hot springs in Gunma (Ikaho onsen, Kusatsu onsen, etc.) and sight-seeing spots (Tomioka Silk Mill, a World Heritage Site).
Gunma is rich in nature where one can enjoy out-door activities such as skiing, hiking, camping, and fishing.
The cost of living is fairly low as compared to the metropolitan Tokyo area and it is a cozy city to live in. Tokyo is within an accessible distance from Maebashi (approximately 2 hours by train).
