Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ishikari offers river-mouth scenery and coastal plants. Begin in one part of Hamanasu-no-Oka Park and view the nearby lighthouse, after checking wind and return transport.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Choose an open park boardwalk → the lighthouse’s exterior viewing area. Check current coast access, demand-responsive transport reservation conditions and return connections.

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.
