Daruma dolls, made of papier-mâché and usually painted red, are the symbol of Takasaki in Gunma Prefecture, particularly since the city is the largest producer of these figures in Japan. When you visit, buy a Daruma doll, color in the left eye, and make a wish. If the wish comes true, color in the right eye. Takasaki is easy to access from both Tokyo and Nagano by regular train or Hokuriku Shinkansen bullet train.
