Hi, I’m Tabi!

Western Tokyo’s Akiruno offers a river valley, suspension bridge and hot-spring surroundings. Choose the bridge or spa area first; historic autumn photographs do not show current foliage.

This guide covers places within Akiruno, 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.

Aki River and Ishibune Bridge in November 201201

A first-visit stop

Ishibune Bridge

石舟橋

A pedestrian suspension bridge over the Aki River with valley views. The photograph dates from November 2012. Check current access and weather and stay inside the railings.

Getting there
Check buses toward Jurigi from Musashi-Itsukaichi station

02

A first-visit stop

Akigawa Keikoku Seoto-no-Yu

秋川渓谷瀬音の湯

A bathing facility and local-products stop in a natural valley setting. Bathing is optional and separate from walking. A closure-day change notice means older weekly schedules should not be assumed current.

Getting there
Check Seoto-no-Yu bus-stop service and return journeys

03

A first-visit stop

Kotokuji Temple

広徳寺

A historic temple featured in the city’s walking guide. Respect worship rules around its large ginkgo trees. Seasonal foliage varies; check its route separately from the bridge and spa.

Getting there
Check the temple route in the Kowada area

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city’s walking guide features oyaki at Seoto-no-Yu’s local-products shop. Check the filling’s ingredients and current availability; prices and stock are not guaranteed.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the Jurigi area → an accessible section around Ishibune Bridge, following maps and current signs. Plan bathing and Kotokuji separately if preferred.

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.
