Hi, I’m Tabi!

Ogose is a town in Saitama. Discover its plum groves and valleys at Ogose Bairin and Kuroyama Three Waterfalls. Check access and transport for each rather than assuming a short walk between them.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Town guidance introduces ume fruit and yuzu as local products. Harvest periods, availability and ingredients differ between fresh and processed products; check their origins. Viewing plum blossoms does not imply access to harvest activities or permission to pick fruit.
