Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ibaraki is a city in Osaka Prefecture, distinct from Ibaraki Prefecture in eastern Japan. Begin with a central literary or cultural visit; northern farming areas are a separate outing.

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

01 · EXPLORE
