Hi, I’m Tabi!

In Kikuyo, explore the ingenuity of an irrigation canal and the hedgerows of a former gunner settlement. Hanaguri Ide and Teppokoji are separate stops. Respect working agricultural infrastructure and residential streets, starting from permitted viewing areas.

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