Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kimitsu in Chiba offers lake scenery and Kururi’s castle site and well streets. Choose central Kururi or Lake Kameyama first, planning them as separate outings.

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

Kururi Well Streets

久留里の井戸

Discover wells and water history in the former castle town. The old Oido well is a preserved feature no longer in use. Follow posted guidance rather than assuming every well is drinking water.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Kururi’s water is linked with local life and brewing. The tourism association lists sellers of bottled Ikita Mizu Kururi natural water. Check current availability and labeling when exploring this local product.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Kururi station → central well streets, using a map and public paths. Check the castle site’s slopes and entry rules; save the lake for a separate trip.

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.
