Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a roadside produce stop and the spring-fed Nui-no-Ike pond in Shiroishi Town, Saga. This is distinct from the city with the same name in Miyagi.

This guide covers places within Shiroishi, 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

Nui-no-Ike Pond

The pond is known for the return of spring water after a long dry period. Respect local life and worship, observing quietly from permitted paths. Do not enter the water or assume it is safe to drink; check current access notices.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Official roadside-station information highlights onions, lotus root, strawberries and sweetcorn as town specialties. They are not all available year-round. Check origins, current stock, processed-food ingredients and storage instructions.

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.
