Hi, I’m Tabi!

Enjoy Maebashi’s central park or Shikishima Park to the north. Rinkokaku is currently closed for works; historical photographs do not guarantee present visitor access.

This guide covers places within Maebashi, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try an open Maebashi Park entrance → designated park paths. Stay outside construction areas. Visit Shikishima separately and check official Rinkokaku reopening information.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
