Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tateyama is a coastal city in southern Boso. Start with its hillside park, small island or maritime exhibits. This is distinct from the Tateyama mountain area in Toyama.

This guide covers places within Tateyama, 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.

A first-visit stop

Shiroyama Park and Tateyama Castle

城山公園・館山城

Explore a hillside park and castle-shaped exhibition building. The photograph shows its exterior in 2016, rather than an original surviving keep. Check slopes, visitor areas and current exhibitions.

Getting there
Check destination-specific bus or walking routes from JR Tateyama Station

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Choose Shiroyama Park and Tateyama Castle or Okinoshima first. Check open areas and return transport, without forcing separated destinations into a single 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.
