Autumn Nara Gose City Walk Rally

A day to “experience Gose on foot” — close to the city, surrounded by nature.

Nara’s Gose City offers beautiful seasonal scenery and a convenient lifestyle. Popular among families, it will host the Autumn Gose Walk Rally.

The event is designed for those considering migration or settlement in Gose as well as current residents who want to discover more about their community. By visiting local shops and attractions, participants can experience everyday life in Gose firsthand.

Gose City is located about 60 minutes from Osaka or Nara by train or car, and about 80 minutes from Kyoto. Nestled between Mt. Kongo and Mt. Katsuragi, it is a city rich in history, culture, and nature — while also offering excellent access to major cities, making it a popular residential area.

About the Walk Rally

The event uses a photo rogaining style with a digital map. Participants visit as many checkpoints as possible within the time limit, take photos, and collect points — a game-like way to explore Gose while discovering hidden gems of the city.
