Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nakano is a city in Nagano, distinct from Tokyo’s Nakano Ward. Explore gardens at Ippongi Park or regional craft at the Japan Clay Doll Museum. Historical photographs do not promise current flowers or exhibitions. Check current public access and return services for each.

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