Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit the exterior of Yoshio Nishina’s birthplace and walking spaces at Tsubaki no Oka Park. Distinguish the birthplace from the separate Nishina Kaikan facility.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Yoshio Nishina’s birthplace

仁科芳雄博士生家

The physicist Yoshio Nishina spent his childhood here. This May 2006 photograph shows the exterior beyond the wall, rather than an exhibition room. Check current opening days and permitted areas.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Tsubaki no Oka Park

つばきの丘運動公園

This park has walking paths and a children’s play area. A decorative panel appears here instead of a location photograph. Views depend on weather; ask the management office about use of sports facilities.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Makomotake is an enlarged makomo stem, rather than a bamboo shoot. The town describes its crisp texture and harvest from late September through October. Check seasonal availability, preparation and seasoning ingredients.

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.
