Hi, I’m Tabi!

Near the Tama River, residential Komae offers an old temple, conserved greenery and restored folk architecture. Start north of the station, checking designated access days for the pond.

This guide covers places within Komae, 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.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Komae station → public paths around Senryuji. Add the pond only on a designated open day, and check closures before a separate folk-house visit.

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.
