@[email protected] I am curious why you had Maebashi on your list. I had an impression it was not a tourist place. In addition, most of the locals don't know any English at all. I went to meet a friend, so that worked out for me.
@ravi initially I thought I could make a trip from Tokyo over Nikko to maebashi and then back to Tokyo, but then I saw the connection from Nikko to maebashi where not really ideal.
