Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tako offers rice-field and Kuriyama River scenery in Chiba. Begin around the roadside station and riverside park. Plan separate transport for Nichihonji and enjoy hydrangeas in season.

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

  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
