A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
草加市
North of Tokyo in Saitama, Soka offers pine-lined paths, an old highway and senbei culture. Begin around Soka Matsubara beside the Ayase River.
This guide covers places within Soka, 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
草加松原
A pine-lined promenade beside the Ayase River, recalling the old Nikko highway. Choose a comfortable section; the photograph’s seasonal scenery is not a current bloom report.

A first-visit stop
札場河岸公園
A park recreating the atmosphere of a former river landing, with stone steps and a wooden lookout. Learn about river trade; it is a reconstruction rather than an untouched historic site.
