Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Shizumine Furusato Park and the botanical garden area in Naka, Ibaraki. Distinguish this city from similarly pronounced places in Tokushima, and read the historical garden photograph alongside current Rinne operating guidance.

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