Hi, I’m Tabi!

Fujioka offers wisteria parks and winter cherry blossoms in Gunma. Plan Fujinosakuoka and hillside Sakurayama as separate outings; historical flower photographs do not show today’s bloom.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Fuji Fureaikan exterior in December 201401

A first-visit stop

Fujinosakuoka and Fuji Fureaikan

ふじの咲く丘・ふじふれあい館

A wisteria-themed park and exhibition building. The photo shows Fuji Fureaikan’s exterior in December 2014, rather than flowers in bloom. Check flowering and building opening arrangements separately.

Getting there
Use JR Hachiko Line’s Gunma-Fujioka Station as a starting point when checking current onward transport to the park and exhibition building.

A first-visit stop

Sakurayama Park

桜山公園

A hillside park with winter cherry blossoms, seasonal trees and a Japanese garden. The photograph dates to November 2009. Check current flowering, slopes and parking conditions, leaving protected plants untouched.

Getting there
Locate the park entrance in Sanbagawa and check parking and road conditions, separately from the urban park.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association introduces Fuyuzakura manju, named for Sakurayama’s winter cherries. Check bean filling, dough, decoration and allergens with vendors; this does not recommend a shop or guarantee current stock or prices.

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.
