Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kanuma in Tochigi offers historic merchant architecture and carved festival-float culture. Begin with a map at the central visitor stop, choosing a garden or street view first.

This guide covers places within Kanuma, 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 official visitor map lists nira soba, soba served with garlic chives. Consider it after a walk, checking menus and ingredients; a shop’s inclusion in the 2023 map does not guarantee current operation.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Shin Kanumajuku → nearby public streets, using a map to choose the Fukuda exterior or Central Park. Check separate event dates for float processions.

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.
