Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover historical collections at Seizan Bunko and plant scenery at Makino Park in Sakawa. The museum exterior dates to June 2019 and the park’s cherry blossoms to March 2015. Check seasonal information rather than expecting spring flowers in autumn.

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