Takasaki Arena and Jonan Stadium are within walking distance from Takasaki Station.
Even in Gunma, it rarely snows in winter in the Takasaki area, so you can basically walk around the station to get there.
In Fujioka, the nearest station is on the Hachiko Line, which is less frequent, and you will need a car to get to your destination once you reach Fujioka Station, so a car is more convenient if you want to go to Fujioka.
