Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ora is a town on Gunma’s plains with an observation tower and Tataranuma waterside. Begin around the central park; check an Ora-side destination when visiting the pond.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

View the tower from open central-park paths and choose an observation-room visit according to opening guidance. Arrange transport separately for Tataranuma and check return connections at Hon-Nakano Station.

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.
