Takasaki, the largest city in Gunma Prefecture on Japan's main island of Honshu, is best known as the home of the Daruma doll — a round, weighted figure representing the Buddhist sage Bodhidharma and widely used today as a good-luck symbol. The city has a walkable centre with cafés and restaurants, sits close to mountain terrain, and is within reach of several UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
