Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit Katori Jingu and the townscape of Sawara in Katori City. Sawara is also a living community with working shops.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Katori Jingu

香取神宮

A shrine in the Katori district; the photograph shows its worship hall in 2013. Check current guidance rather than using the photograph to infer ceremonies, events or access inside buildings.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

A first-visit stop

Sawara townscape

佐原の町並み

Explore the traditional townscape around the Onogawa River. The photograph shows Sawara-Honmachi in 2008, not current shop openings or every building’s condition. Respect private property and residents.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

An official Sawara accommodation guide introduces unaju, eel served over rice. Do not assume its advertised activity is currently offered; ask the operator about menus, prices, ingredients and booking arrangements.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Tabi’s two-stop suggestion

These are separate places to visit. Check distances and transport on the map and choose stops that fit your plans.

Check the walking route

Check the mapped route and current transport and site guidance.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
