A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
秩父市
Chichibu City in Saitama combines mountain scenery, town life, shrines and festivals. Begin in the center or at Hitsujiyama Park; its wider attractions need separate outings.
This guide covers places within Chichibu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01A first-visit stop
羊山公園
A hillside park overlooking Chichibu. The photograph shows the town in May 2014. Its moss phlox is a spring attraction; choose park paths and viewpoints suited to your pace.
Getting there
Check the approach from Seibu Chichibu station
02A first-visit stop
聖神社
A shrine connected with traditions about Wado copper. The photo shows its gate and approach in 2019. Stay out of the nearby mining site’s stream and upper mountain path, closed because of rockfall and collapse risks.
Getting there
Check the approach and return service from Wado-Kuroya station
A first-visit stop
秩父神社
Discover carved shrine architecture in the town center and learn about local faith and festivals. Visit quietly; Hijiri Shrine is a separate outing requiring its own transport plan.
Getting there
Approach the shrine in Banbamachi from Chichibu station
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Official visitor guidance features soba noodles and miso potato, a potato snack with miso flavoring. Check ingredients and preparations, which vary by shop.
