Hi, I’m Tabi!

Miyoshi is a town in Saitama. Explore Santome’s farming history through a house and temple in Kamitome. Check current buses and return connections from Tsuruse or Fujimino Station.

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

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.
