Hi, I’m Tabi!

This Meiwa is the town in Gunma’s Ora district. Explore everyday town life through its cultural hall and Furusato Park and learn about local pears. Distinguish it from places of the same name in other prefectures.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Meiwa Furusato Industrial and Cultural Hall

日本キャンパックホール(ふるさと産業文化館)

A building for community cultural events and facility use, now officially nicknamed Nippon Campac Hall. The 2003 exterior photo may show earlier signage. Check events, interior visits and reservations separately; ongoing exhibitions are not guaranteed.

Getting there
Check current transport between Tobu Kawamata Station in Gunma and the cultural hall in Minami-Oshima.

A first-visit stop

Furusato Park

ふるさとの広場

A town park with walking, recreation and play areas. The photograph shows water and paths in 2003, rather than playground equipment renewed in 2022. Check sport-facility reservations, rules and children’s play arrangements.

Getting there
Use Kawamata Station as a reference when checking the park map and entrances to facilities.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The town identifies pears as a local specialty. Check harvest season, availability and ingredients when choosing fresh fruit or processed products. Fresh pears in every season and the quality of any specific shop are not guaranteed.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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 entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
