Kuresaka Pass located in the border of Kuni Village and Nakanojo Town in Gunma Prefecture is a pass with an altitude of 1,086 m. It became famous when a wondering poet, Bokusui Wakayama, wrote a poem of this pass in 1922. In 1957, the statue of Bokusui wearing a travel cloak and the stone monument inscribed with his poem were erected by the hand of the people interested. They are the symbol of the pass today.

Prefectural Road 55, which runs through the pass in east to west direction, is a part of the Romantic Road of Japan. The wonderful view from the observatory will take your breath away. On October 20 every year, Bokusui Festival is held. The pass is crowded with Bokusui fans on this day.
