Hi, I’m Tabi!

Shimotsuma is a city in Ibaraki. Begin with a lakeside park or a historic shrine. Distinguish Shimotsuma and Daiho stations on the Kantetsu Joso Line and check local onward and return connections.

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