Hi, I’m Tabi!

Hatogaya is now an area within Kawaguchi. The former city was incorporated in 2011; this guide preserves the app’s existing Hatogaya GID scope. Choose the shrine or temple and check station approaches and your return.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the shrine’s permitted entrance → public worship areas. Plan Jizo-in separately using its approach and current visitor guidance.

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.
