Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tsukubamirai in southern Ibaraki offers a temple and stories of an explorer. Check onward transport from Miraidaira Station for the temple and from Moriya Station for the museum, planning the destinations separately.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association features local rice and the certified Yawara Sanmangoku rice brand. Not every rice product is certified: check origin and product labels and current availability, plus added ingredients and allergens in prepared rice foods.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Begin in the temple’s public worship areas. Bus services vary by day and route, so check the latest timetable and return connections. Arrange separate transport and closure information for the museum.

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.
