Hi, I’m Tabi!

Chonan is an inland Chiba town with temple and hill scenery. Kasamori Kannon and Nomigane Park are separate destinations. Consider steps and weather when choosing your first stop.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Chiba’s official area guide introduces rice grown in Chonan’s paddies. Check origins and varieties at farm shops or other retailers. Not every rice product is from Chonan; confirm current stock and prices locally.
