Hi, I’m Tabi!

Mizuho is a town in western Tokyo. Begin at the pond park or local history museum; with parts of Sayamaike under construction, the museum and Koshinkan area make another starting point.

This guide covers places within Mizuho, 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 the Keyakikan area → Koshinkan, using public paths and checking opening information. Plan a separate park outing and leave the closed walkway and pier out of your route.

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.
