Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Fujiigawa Dam and Katsura Roadside Station in Shirosato, Ibaraki. Plan the dam scenery and farm-shop visit separately, using the new address in Katsura’s 2026 renewal guidance.

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