The fresh aroma of Yomogi(mugwort) and the moist manju dough are delicious, and the sweet bean paste is refreshingly sweet and goes well with the flavor of Yomogi. Chichibu is a place of rich nature and scenic beauty, and the Chichibu Railway is the perfect souvenir to take with you on a short trip.
