Hi, I’m Tabi!

Konosu in Saitama is associated with hina dolls and flowers. Start around the station and Hina-no-sato, distinguishing seasonal doll festivals from permanent exhibitions.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Choose the area around Hina-no-sato or Ko Shrine to start. Check connections and return transport rather than combining all areas in one walk.

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.
