Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ota is a city in Gunma, distinct from Tokyo’s Ota Ward. Choose between hilltop castle history and a relaxed station-area cultural visit.

This guide covers places within Ota, 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.

A first-visit stop

Kanayama Castle Ruins

金山城跡

Explore stone walls and the layout of a hilltop castle site. The 2007 photo shows stonework; some remains are restored. Check slopes and access rather than expecting an intact castle.

Daikoin Temple

大光院

Visit a temple associated with Donryu worship and mature pine trees. Child-rearing prayers are a religious tradition, not a medical promise; respect worship and photography guidance.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Ota station’s north side → the museum-and-library area. Check exhibition access and plan the hilltop castle site separately.

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.
