Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit Muku Shrine and the farmers’ market at Michi no Eki Minano. Worship and shopping are separate activities. The historical shrine photograph does not guarantee today’s ceremonies or market stock.

This guide covers places within Minano, 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

Muku Shrine in Minano

皆野椋神社

The shrine at Minano 238; the photograph shows its worship hall. Distinguish it from the similarly named shrine in Yoshida, Chichibu. Explore its association with haiku poet Kaneko Tota and local beliefs without treating them as promised benefits.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Michi no Eki Minano Farmers’ Market

道の駅みなの皆野農産物直売所

A farmers’ market operated by JA Chichibu. Browse available produce and prepared goods and check their origin and storage. This does not imply unrestricted photography or farm activities; follow pedestrian routes and each shop’s guidance.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Rest House Minano features handmade udon. Consider it alongside local vegetables at the market. Confirm restaurant and market hours separately, and ask about wheat and broth allergens.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
