Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ryūgasaki in southern Ibaraki offers a lakeside park and historic architecture. JR Ryūgasakishi Station and Kanto Railway’s Ryūgasaki Station are different stations: choose the appropriate one and arrange onward transport separately for the park and temple.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Start in the waterfront park’s open areas. Plan the temple separately with bus or driving access and return transport, observing waterside restrictions and temple guidance.

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.
