Hi, I’m Tabi!

Otaki is an inland town with castle-town history and traditional houses. The castle museum building is closed for renovation, so choose permitted outdoor areas and town streets. Historic exterior photographs do not establish current admission conditions.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association introduces local bamboo shoots, strawberries and mushrooms. Look for bamboo shoots in season, checking their origin and availability. Confirm picking activities and restaurant menus and prices separately.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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 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.
