Hi, I’m Tabi!
Saku is a city in Nagano. Explore local history at Tatsuoka Castle’s Goryokaku site or Hanazura Inari Shrine. The former Taguchi school within the castle closed in 2023, and the guidance center was renamed in 2026. Distinguish historical images from current access guidance and check transport separately.
This guide covers places within Saku, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
