Hi, I’m Tabi!

Fuchu in Tokyo offers a historic shrine, southern parkland and a market. Choose the station-area shrine or Kyodo-no-Mori first. It is distinct from Fuchu in Hiroshima.

This guide covers places within Fuchu, 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.

The park’s traffic playground combines real vehicle displays with traffic-safety learning. The photograph shows a D51 locomotive in 2017. The park and museum are separate facilities; check age and weather rules for rides and community-bus connections following the April 2026 route change.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city’s product hall guide features Fuchu-grown vegetables, eggs and dishes using local black rice. Browse local produce and sweets, checking origins and ingredients because not everything sold is locally produced.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Choose Okunitama Shrine or Kyodo-no-Mori Park and Traffic Playground 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.
