Hi, I’m Tabi!

Handa on Aichi’s Chita Peninsula has a legacy of shipping and brewing. Explore its industrial story through canal warehouses and a former brewery building, checking access to each separately.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Handa Canal

半田運河

Canal scenery with brewing warehouses and black walls. Explore shipping and brewing history from outside paths. Distinguish operating facilities and private property and do not enter warehouses freely.

Getting there
Check public canal paths using JR Handa Station as a starting point.

A first-visit stop

Handa Red Brick Building

半田赤レンガ建物

Explore industrial history in a building that began as a Meiji-era brewery. The photo shows its exterior in 2018. Check exhibition, event and café arrangements separately; walking outside does not imply unrestricted interior access.

Getting there
Locate the entrance from Meitetsu Sumiyoshicho Station and check separate transport from the canal.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The official tourism guide highlights Chita food culture using soybean miso, tamari and red vinegar. Explore dishes with regional brewed seasonings and check actual ingredients and allergens. No restaurant or local origin for every ingredient is guaranteed.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
