Hi, I’m Tabi!

Sodegaura offers a park with seasonal flowers and a spacious theme park. Choose between them after checking separate transport. Parts of the park have storm-related restrictions, so read its operator’s latest guidance before visiting.

This guide covers places within Sodegaura, 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

Sodegaura Park

袖ケ浦公園

A park with pond scenery and seasonal flowers, pictured in 2013. The operator’s September 2026 notice reports a closed road toward the museum and some toilets and washbasins out of use. Do not assume repairs are complete; follow current notices and visit only permitted areas.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Tokyo German Village

東京ドイツ村

Despite its Tokyo name, this flower and greenery theme park is in Sodegaura. Check official seasonal events and facility conditions, then choose an area that suits you. Flower displays and illuminations are not the same throughout the year.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city introduces White Gaura Ramen, a local ramen using its specialty milk. Recipes and flavors may vary between shops. Check allergens and current menus and prices before ordering; this is not an endorsement of a particular restaurant.
