Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nagareyama combines canal scenery with mirin-brewing culture. The park near Unga station and the museums in Nagareyama Honcho are separate areas. Choose one first, checking trains and return transport.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Unga station → Unga Mizube Park, checking water levels and local signs. Plan a separate outing to the Honcho museums if preferred; there is no need to cover the entire canal in a short walk.

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.
