Hi, I’m Tabi!

Shibayama offers haniwa history and agricultural products in Chiba. Begin around the park and municipal museum, planning separate transport for the roadside station and airport-area facilities.

This guide covers places within Shibayama, 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.

Shibayama Park in December 201301

A first-visit stop

Shibayama Park

芝山公園

Pause among lawns and trees, with a nearby museum introducing haniwa and the ancient burial-mound period. The photo dates from 2013; check current facility and path guidance.

Getting there
Check transport to the park in the Shibayama district

A first-visit stop

Michinoeki Fuwari Shibayama

道の駅風和里しばやま

Browse local produce and processed goods at this roadside station. The photo shows its exterior in 2024. It is a separate facility from the similarly named Sora-no-Eki near the airport; check location and closure notices.

Getting there
Use the roadside station at 2568 Koike

03

A first-visit stop

Shibayama Kofun and Haniwa Museum

町立芝山古墳・はにわ博物館

Haniwa are clay objects placed around ancient burial mounds. Archaeological materials and reconstructed displays introduce earlier life. Distinguish this municipal museum from the other haniwa museum and check current exhibitions and closures.

Getting there
Use the municipal museum at 438-1 Shibayama

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Official guidance features baumkuchen made with Shibayama black rice and Chiba rice flour. This is an example of a local rice-based sweet, not a shop endorsement. Check ingredients, allergens and availability.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try park paths → the municipal museum entrance area, checking indoor opening separately. Plan a separate trip to the roadside station and distinguish its address from the airport-side Sora-no-Eki.

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.
