The Maebashi Convention & Visitors Bureau is holding a city-walking event in collaboration with the anime "Maebashi Witches" called the "Maebashi Witches Marutto Digital Stamp Rally" (held from January 28 to May 10, 2026).

*The stamp rally period has ended

This project is,

Tour the settings of Maebashi Witches and collect original digital stamps! Collect stamps to receive a novelty sticker. We have also prepared lottery prizes that you can apply for once you complete the set.

Quoted from the Maebashi Convention & Visitors Bureau "Digital Stamp Rally" guide

According to this, if you visit 10 or 18 out of the 18 locations to collect digital stamps and bring them to the "Maebashi Station Tourist Information Center" or the "Roadside Station Maebashi Akagi Tourist Information Center," you can receive a novelty sticker for each milestone.

Additionally, if you complete all 18 locations, you will be entered into a lottery to win a "Maebashi Witches x Maebashi City original winter illustration tourist poster signed by the 5 cast members." The 18 stamp rally locations are as follows.

  5. Nihon Totter Green Dome Maebashi

  8. JINS PARK

  12. Benten-dori Shopping Street

  13. Orion-dori Shopping Street

  14. Sakutaro Hagiwara Memorial, City of Water, Greenery and Poetry, Maebashi Literature Museum

  16. Jomo Electric Railway Ogo Station

  17. Roadside Station Green Flower Farm Ogo

  18. Miyaseki Bridge, Prefectural Road 74

The bolded items are a bit far from JR Maebashi Station. I don't think a simple list is very clear, so I took a screenshot of the Google Map on the information page. The 10 locations in the city center and Ogo Station, which you can reach by train, shouldn't be too difficult.

A total of 18 locations. Some points are tough to reach by public transportation (C) Google

I suppose it's better that there's no instruction to go to Mount Akagi. It's quite far from JR Maebashi Station. Akagi Onuma, which spreads out on Mount Akagi, is famous for ice fishing for smelt, so you need to be prepared if you go in winter. It's cool and just right if you go in summer.

I've visited the places on the stamp rally list, but it's quite tough using public transportation and walking. This is the most important point: after visiting all of them, you need to stop by the information center by 6:00 PM.

In other words, it's fine if you stamp "Roadside Station Maebashi Akagi" or "JR Maebashi Station/AQERU Maebashi" last. If you miss the time, you can just stop by again, but it's a bit of a hassle to go back. How to efficiently visit them all in one day is the tricky part.

After organizing the locations of each spot, to visit them efficiently while making detours,

  • Jomo Electric Railway Ogo Station
    (Start)

  • Miyaseki Bridge, Prefectural Road 74
    → Ogo Station and Miyaseki Bridge are very close.

  • Gunma Flower Park+
    → It reacts in front of the main gate. It appears in the survey questions, so if you have time, it's better to go in.
    *Closed on some days (every Tuesday, 3/2-13). You cannot enter the parking lot either.Please check the annual calendar for details.

  • Roadside Station Green Flower Farm Ogo
    → The place with the Dutch-style windmill is the correct one

  • Roadside Station Maebashi Akagi
    *Please note that the parking lot is extremely crowded on holidays
    *1 hour and 30 minutes up to this point

  • JINS PARK

  • Maebashi Fireworks Festival Venue (Shikishima Ryokuchi)
    → Near Starbucks Coffee Shikishima Park store. Shikishima Park Parking Lot 1 can be used
    *2 hours and 30 minutes up to this point

  • Luna Park

  • Rinkokaku

  • Nihon Totter Green Dome Maebashi
    → Lunapark, Rinkokaku, and Green Dome are very close by. You can use the parking lot at Rappodo Maebashi Park. Maebashi Toshogu Shrine is also nearby (*Toshogu Shrine is not part of the stamp rally).

  • Bookman's Academy Maebashi Store
    → There is an exhibit about Maebashi Witches on the stairs between the 1st and 2nd floors. On the 2nd floor, there are also signed chocolate panels of the 5 characters. *3 hours and 30 minutes up to this point.

  • Keyaki Walk Maebashi

  • Hagiwara Sakutaro Memorial Maebashi Literature Museum: City of Water, Greenery, and Poetry
    *Closed until Wednesday, March 11th for maintenance (you can collect the stamp without entering).

  • Hirose River (beside the Literature Museum)
    → You can collect the stamps for the Literature Museum and Hirose River at the same time.

  • Orion-dori Shopping Street

  • Benten-dori Shopping Street

  • Chuo-dori Shopping Street
    → Orion-dori, Benten-dori, and Chuo-dori are all very close to each other.

  • JR Maebashi Station / |AQERU Maebashi
    (Goal) *4 hours and 30 minutes up to this point.
    *Parking at AQERU Maebashi is free for up to 2 hours. However, the parking lot is extremely narrow, so be careful if you are not confident in your driving or have a large vehicle!
    *It is 1.2km to the Literature Museum, so walking there and back might be a bit tough.

*The time required is the actual time taken including detours. You can shorten it if you just go around, but I would like you to stop by each facility and do some shopping if possible. Although it is not a stamp rally location, "Mitsumata Senbei" is also recommended.

Furthermore, according to the management's manual, "you can also specify the tolerance distance for errors from the designated coordinates," so the degree of "error" that the association allows is also an important factor in completing the mission.

It is not strict, but it will not react unless you get reasonably close. My feeling is about 20-30m? A tip is to carefully check the position of the pin stuck on the "Marutto Digital Stamp Rally" Google Map before pressing it.

Depending on the GPS condition, it may not react well, so if you cannot collect the stamp even though you are near the pin position, it might be good to close the browser once and then display it again.

Can you really finish it in one day? (Even if you go by car, you should expect it to take 5 hours). Do you have to enter the facility to collect the stamp?. I will update this again, including detailed regulations.

【Notice】
I have plotted it on Google Maps. I have created it so that it matches the position of the pins on the map on the official "Digital Stamp Rally" page. Please forgive me if there are any errors.

Postscript) I went. For details, see below
