Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tokorozawa combines aviation heritage, parkland and distinctive cultural architecture. Choose the aviation park or Higashi-Tokorozawa for a first visit, checking indoor facilities separately.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city highlights soy-seasoned grilled dango as a local snack. It offers a different flavor from sweet-sauce dumplings; check each shop’s ingredients and availability.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Koku-koen station → the aviation park → a park path. Enjoy the outdoor scenery; exclude the closed Aviation Museum and visit the cultural museum separately.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
