Ota Ward 80th Anniversary Memorial Ota Town Trek

About this event

Commemorating the 80th anniversary of the establishment of Ota Ward, 'Ota Town Trek' is a game-style city-walking event where participants visit checkpoints across the ward while enjoying local culture, sightseeing, and dining. Using a map distributed at the venue as a guide, participants visit checkpoints throughout Ota Ward within the time limit to collect points. Teams strategize routes for efficient scoring and take group photos at each checkpoint, discovering the charms of Ota Ward via train, bus, and walking. This year, a new 'Family Division' has been introduced for groups participating with children of elementary school age or younger. With 39 checkpoints, the game encourages teams to design their own 5-hour strategy, whether targeting high-scoring spots or efficiently hitting nearby locations. Participants do not need to visit every checkpoint and can enjoy Ota Ward's culture, sightseeing, and food according to their own stamina and interests. Particular highlights include areas steeped in literary and cultural history, such as 'Magome Bunshimura'—where many authors and artists resided from the late Taisho to early Showa periods—and sites connected to Chiyo Uno, who is drawing attention in connection with the late-2026 NHK morning drama serial 'Blossom.'
