Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit a products center and a park commemorating Hasekura Tsunenaga in Ōsato, Miyagi. These are separate places within the town: check transport and your return journey for each.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Michi-no-Eki Ōsato

道の駅 おおさと

A roadside station offering products and meals, shown in September 2012. Current shops and facilities may differ. Watch for vehicles and use pedestrian entrances. Accompany children and check the rules for indoor play areas.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Hasekura Tsunenaga Memorial Park

支倉常長メモリアルパーク

The park follows a path toward a grave traditionally attributed to Tsunenaga. Treat the grave’s story as a tradition rather than a settled historical fact. Visit quietly and choose permitted woodland paths and steps suited to weather and ability.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The roadside station introduces zunda and molokhia products and local vegetables. Check soy ingredients in zunda, milk in frozen desserts, stock and storage requirements. It also sells goods from elsewhere, so not everything is produced in Ōsato.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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 entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
