Hi, I’m Tabi!

This guide covers Kawachi town in Ibaraki’s Inashiki district, with Tone River and rural landscapes. The lead image is an aerial photograph of the Tone River from November 2009, not a view of a present-day footpath. Arrange driving access and return transport first.

This guide covers places within Kawachi (Ibaraki), rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Ootone Airfield

大利根飛行場

An airfield on the Tone River floodplain featured in the official regional guide. The March 2024 aerial photograph differs from a pedestrian view. The runway is not a walking area; ask the operator about visits or activities before coming.

What could you try?
