Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

This Chiyoda is a town in Gunma’s Ora district with river transport and parks, distinct from Tokyo’s Chiyoda ward. Choose the ferry or park first after checking river weather and current access.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Akaiwa Ferry

赤岩渡船

A ferry connecting Chiyoda’s Akaiwa with Kuzuwada in Kumagaya, Saitama, across the Tone River. The photograph shows Shin-Chiyodamaru in 2019. This guide focuses on the Gunma approach; strong winds or high water can suspend service. The opposite bank is a different municipality.

Getting there
Check current timetables and return services on the Tatebayashi–Chiyoda bus route from Tatebayashi Station to Akaiwa Ferry; do not cross when suspended.

02

A first-visit stop

Nakasato Park

なかさと公園

A park themed around Tone River water and wind, with greenery, play and sport spaces. Check current arrangements and reservations for the outlook, slides and sports facilities. A riverside park is not unrestricted swimming space; follow children’s use rules.

Getting there
Locate the park entrance in Maigi on its official map and plan transport separately from the ferry.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The town’s official food-culture material discusses rice, barley and vegetable production and examples of eateries using Chiyoda-grown rice. Check actual origin and availability when choosing meals or produce. This neither guarantees local rice at every eatery nor recommends a specific shop.
