Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore local stories through a historical park and shrine in Ishioka, Ibaraki. Treat Hitachi Fudoki no Oka and Hitachi-no-Kuni Soshagu as separate visits, checking access and conditions for each.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

01

A first-visit stop

Hitachi Fudoki no Oka

常陸風土記の丘

This park introduces history and everyday-life heritage, with exhibitions and reconstructed houses described by the city. Check access to the park, exhibitions and houses separately. This card uses decorative place-name artwork because a suitable reusable photograph was not secured.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Ishioka introduces seasonal fruit picking in the Yasato district. Strawberries, grapes and persimmons vary by orchard and season; they are not all available at the same time. Check reservations, growing conditions and sales directly with each farm.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

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.
