Gumma to Nagano: Quarry, Love Hotel, and Onsen

“Today was more of a transit day, getting us from Tokyo into the mountains. We started with the abandoned quarry, picked up Natski in Takasaki, then stumbled into the abandoned love hotel before finally reaching Yudanaka Onsen.”

Explore an abandoned stone quarry
Joey takes me to an abandoned stone quarry, which is absolutely massive and looks like something out of Indiana Jones or the X-Files. The walls are so cleanly cut it looks like a lost city. It's a bizarre and huge place, definitely a potential location for a horror film. We even found platforms that look like a Zelda dungeon. It's a really unique spot, much better than a strawberry farm for our horror film challenge.

A massive, abandoned stone quarry in Gumma Prefecture, featuring cleanly cut walls that resemble a lost city or a Zelda dungeon. It's a huge, eerie, and visually striking location, perfect for urban exploration or a film set.

London Fish and Chip Pringles · ¥200 — These Pringles are supposed to taste like London fish and chips, but they smell like cardboard sprayed with vinegar and taste like sour onion that went off months ago. I'd give them a 2/10, but Joey would take a sponsorship in a heartbeat. Don't buy them.

One of Gumma Prefecture's biggest cities, serving as a transit point on our journey. We stopped here to pick up Natski, who was not pleased about us being two and a half hours late.

Stumble into an abandoned love hotel
late-night
We pulled over for Natski's cigarette break and stumbled upon what we thought was a roadside stop, but it turned out to be an abandoned, rundown love hotel. All the windows were open, which is never a good sign. Inside, it's like stepping into a nightmare, with each room being incredibly creepy. We found a message from a 9-month pregnant prostitute, complete with a disturbing drawing. It's genuinely terrifying, with smashed mirrors, ripped blankets, and broken Japanese-style toilets. This place makes the quarry look like a theme park. We heard doors slamming and saw irregular movement, making it one of the most unpleasant places I've ever been.

Pregnant prostitute drawing — A disturbing drawing found in one of the rooms, depicting a 9-month pregnant prostitute with her stomach cut open. It's accompanied by a message with a phone number and a price for intercourse, adding to the hotel's eerie and unsettling vibe.

A beautiful hot spring resort town in Nagano, our final destination for the day. We arrived several hours behind schedule and missed dinner, but it promises a nice, cozy, warm traditional Japanese inn for a much-needed soak after a day of urban exploration.
