Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kariya in Aichi combines manufacturing heritage with local history. Begin in the former castle-site area around Kijo Park; the northern Highway Oasis can be a separate outing.

This guide covers places within Kariya, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Explore open Kijo Park paths and the castle-site waterside. Check museum entry separately, and distinguish Kariya-shi Station from Kariya Station.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
