Hi, I’m Tabi!

The former village of Takizawa became a city in 2014. Visit a shrine associated with horses and an ancient site, checking transport for each separately.

The app’s former Takizawa village GID is retained, using its current city name.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
