Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ueno Village is surrounded by Gunma mountains and forest and is distinct from Ueno in Tokyo. Start on the Kawawa Nature Park side, choosing a bridge or cave visit that suits your abilities.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

View the bridge from open visitor areas at Kawawa Nature Park. Check steps, surfaces and entry arrangements separately before adding the cave. Plan mountain transport and your return first.

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.
