A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
足利市
Ashikaga introduces its history through an old school and temple. Begin with Ashikaga School and Bannaji in the center, discovering a town that offers more than flower attractions.
This guide covers places within Ashikaga, 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.

02A first-visit stop

02 · A LITTLE BITE
Potato yakisoba is a local dish highlighted by Ashikaga’s tourism association. This example was photographed at Dainichi-jaya in Bannaji in 2021; check ingredients and current availability, without treating the photo as a shop endorsement.
