Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit temple woodland and Muramatsu Park as separate Gosen stops. Check current wildlife notices before entering wooded or park areas.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Steps and trees at Jikōji Temple, July 202201

A first-visit stop

Takiya Jikōji Temple

滝谷 慈光寺

The temple’s worship areas are surrounded by old cedars. The photograph shows steps and trees in July 2022. Watch for slippery steps and roots and avoid disturbing religious activities.

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

Path in Muramatsu Park, June 201602

A first-visit stop

Muramatsu Park

村松公園

The photograph shows a park path in June 2016, not current cherry blossom conditions. The city warns of bear and wild boar sightings nearby; check current notices and on-site restrictions before visiting.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city introduces products and foods made with extracts from local cherry blossoms. Ask the seller about available items, ingredients and allergens; this does not permit picking flowers.

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.
