Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover seasonal gardens at Nihon Kokkaen in Ikawa, Akita. Distinguish the wider park from its rose garden and check current access before visiting.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple
