Hi, I’m Tabi!

Sagamihara’s lakes, woodland and gardens lie in different parts of the city. Choose the Lake Sagami area or Sagamihara Park for a relaxed first outing.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Sagamiko Station → Sagamiko Park for a small lakeside outing. Tsukuiko and Sagamihara Park are farther away; plan separate journeys by train or bus.

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 park sections and bus routes before setting out.
  • Check weather and path conditions near the lake and in woodland.
  • Check current flowering, greenhouse exhibitions and opening information.
