Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ninomiya is a Kanagawa town facing Sagami Bay. Start from JR Ninomiya Station on the Tokaido Line and choose a hill park or historic shrine. Check each destination’s approach and return connections, considering your ability to manage slopes.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Ninomiya Station → an Azumayama Park entrance and permitted paths. Check stairs, hillside trails and weather before walking to the summit; the shrine can be a separate outing.

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.
