Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ageo combines daily life along the JR Takasaki Line with green parkland to the west. Choose a station-area shrine walk or Maruyama Park first, checking transport to the park.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

Ageo Maruyama Park

上尾丸山公園

Hikawa Kuwa Shrine

氷川鍬神社

A shrine in Miyamotocho east of Ageo station. It offers a quiet worship stop on a station-area walk. Respect worshippers and photography guidance.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Ageo skewered gyoza is a local food brand promoted by the city. The 2024 revised guidance allows varied fillings including meat or fish while retaining a skewer. Check the specific ingredients and current menu at each shop.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the east side of Ageo station → Hikawa Kuwa Shrine. Keep the walk near the station, and plan the park and learning center separately after checking transport and use conditions.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
