Hi, I’m Tabi!

Miyashiro in Saitama offers distinctive public architecture, agriculture and local history. Begin with Shinshukan west of the station, checking separate routes and opening information for the farm facility and museum.

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