#cityplaybook If you’re looking for a quiet escape from the city, Tatebayashi in Gunma Prefecture is a peaceful place to slow down and reconnect with nature and tradition. I started my visit at Tsutsujigaoka Park, best known for its spectacular azalea blooms in spring. Even out of season, the park is lovely for a gentle walk—calm ponds, stone bridges, and plenty of green space to breathe. Not far from the park is Obiki Inari Shrine, where vibrant red torii gates and moss-covered paths create a serene and sacred atmosphere. I also stopped by Obiki Benzaiten, a tranquil spot tucked away nearby, known for its beautiful water setting and spiritual energy. Each stop felt like a moment of stillness—and all together, the kind of day that leaves you feeling quietly refreshed. Why I recommend Tatebayashi: ・It’s a perfect place to enjoy seasonal beauty and peaceful shrine visits ・The town has a gentle, local charm that makes you feel welcome right away 📍Tatebayashi City, Gunma Prefecture, Japan #Tatebayashi #Gunma #TsutsujigaokaPark #ObikiShrine #Benzaiten #NatureWalks #HiddenJapan #ShrineStroll #SlowTravel #CityGuide

#thingstodo Beautiful park which left me wonderful memories! There’s sakura trees everywhere. Huge park with a playground, huge water fountain and various sakura trees with lots of street food vendors. Bring a picnic blanket and sit under the trees. They’re all low trees so its so nice. The washroom is clean but there’s no toilet papers or soap so bring some if you visit.
