Hi, I’m Tabi!

Atsugi offers a riverside town outing and a separate hillside temple trip. Begin around Hon-Atsugi or plan buses for Iiyama rather than combining everything on foot.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

The main hall and forecourt at Iiyama Kannon Chokokuji01

A first-visit stop

Iiyama Kannon Chokokuji

飯山観音長谷寺

A wooded hillside temple for a quiet visit. Expect steps and slopes to the main hall; cherry blossoms are seasonal, and mountain hiking requires separate preparation.

Getting there
Check buses from Hon-Atsugi to Iiyama Kannon-mae and the walking approach

The Nakatsu flowing into the Sagami River in 200702

A first-visit stop

Sagami River Confluence

相模川三川合流点

Explore the area where three rivers meet. The photo shows the Nakatsu joining the Sagami; use designated paths and check access during rain, high water or events.

Getting there
Check riverside approaches from Hon-Atsugi or Atsugi Bus Center

03

A first-visit stop

Atsugi Park

厚木公園

An urban park among buildings north of Hon-Atsugi station, with an outdoor stage and event space. Choose a pause during a town walk, checking temporary access changes.

Getting there
Approach Nakacho from the north side of Hon-Atsugi station

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Shirokoro horumon is a grilled-offal dish featured in Atsugi tourism information. Seasoning and ordering vary; ask the shop about cuts, ingredients and cooking guidance.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Hon-Atsugi station → Atsugi Park. Add the riverside after checking access, or visit Iiyama separately after checking buses and your return route.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
