Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kasumigaura is a city in Ibaraki, distinct from the full extent of the large lake sharing its name. Begin at Ayumizaki. Several cities separately operate sightseeing hobikibune, so check the correct municipality’s sailing, booking and weather guidance.

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

Kasumigaura City Museum of History

かすみがうら市歴史博物館

A museum introducing local life, fishing and hobikibune sailing-fishing boats. The photo shows its exterior in 2010. Its castle-shaped building is not a castle ruin. Guidance prohibits interior photography and requires stairs to the observation floor.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Prefectural tourism guidance identifies Kasumigaura City as a major chestnut-growing area. Check actual origin, ingredients, nut allergens and harvest or sales season. Verify orchard activities and booking separately; no local origin for every chestnut, shop, current stock or price 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.
