Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Hokoji Temple and Hase Peony Garden in Nanbu, Aomori, distinct from towns with the same name elsewhere.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Main hall exterior of Hokoji in Nanbu, Aomori, 201901

A first-visit stop

Hokoji Temple

法光寺

The official tourism guide introduces this temple below Mount Nakui. The photograph shows the main hall exterior in 2019, not its interior or current access. Check winter closures and visitor and photography guidance.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Hase Peony Garden

長谷ぼたん園

This peony garden lies on the slopes of Mount Nakui. Check flowering season and current access. Records of spring festivals do not imply October blooms; the place-name panel is decorative.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The town’s official guide features cherries, apples and pears as local produce. Cherry picking is an early-summer activity; check harvest seasons, sales and reservations instead of assuming it is available now.

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 directions

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.
