Hi, I’m Tabi!

Aikawa is an inland Kanagawa town with mountains, rivers and farm scenery. These destinations are in Hanbara in the north. Plan transport from a railway station into town, including the final connection and return journey.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Begin in the farm’s permitted visitor areas. Check the park’s entrance and transport separately. Even if places look close on a map, verify roads, slopes and the actual pedestrian route before linking them.

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.
