Hi, I’m Tabi!

Chigasaki brings together Shonan’s coast, a pine garden and a writer’s former home. Begin south of the station with the garden or beach, saving the currently closed memorial museum for a later visit.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try south of Chigasaki station → Takasuna Ryokuchi, optionally continuing toward the beach on a checked walking route. Exclude the memorial museum from indoor visits during its October 2026 closure.

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

  • 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.
