Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover old buildings and sword-making culture in Sakaki, once a post town on the Hokkoku Kaidō. Check the opening notices for both museums before visiting.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
