Hi, I’m Tabi!

Meet nature at Garyu Park and silk-industry history at the Old Otagiri Residence. Check access to the park and the house separately.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Garyu Park

臥竜公園

Stroll beside Ryugaike Pond and enjoy the park. The photograph shows cherry blossoms in April 2013, not flowers to expect on an autumn visit. Check path and event notices; admission to the adjoining zoo is separate.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Suzaka’s miso-suki don uses a dedicated sauce and the traditional Murayama Wase burdock variety. Consult the city’s guide for participating shops and menus. Ask each shop about meat, egg toppings, soy and wheat.

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.
