Hi, I’m Tabi!

Mishima in Shizuoka offers spring-fed waterways, a shrine and a garden. Begin around the station and Genbei River’s public approaches, checking entry arrangements separately.

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

01 · EXPLORE
