Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tokyo’s Kita Ward offers Oji’s park and paper culture and Nishigahara’s gardens. It is separate from Osaka’s Kita Ward. Choose Asukayama or Kyu-Furukawa Gardens first.

This guide covers places within Tokyo Kita Ward, 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.

What could you try?
