Hi, I’m Tabi!

Koshigaya offers pond gardens, traditional performing arts and an old shrine approach. Begin around Hanataen and its neighboring Noh theater; the shrine and strawberry farms are separate outings.

This guide covers places within Koshigaya, 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.
