Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nerima brings ponds, trees and botanical stories into Tokyo’s residential neighborhoods. Begin with Shakujii Park or Makino Memorial Garden for a quiet outing.

This guide covers places within Nerima 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.

Shakujii Park

石神井公園

03

A botanist’s garden

Makino Memorial Garden

牧野記念庭園

A garden associated with botanist Tomitaro Makino. Explore trees, seasonal plants and memorial exhibits, checking exhibition and closure information first.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Nerima retains farmland within the city and has traditions around Nerima daikon and seasonal produce. If you find local products, check their origin and availability; not every shop carries them.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Shakujii-koen Station → the ponds in Shakujii Park. Take waterside breaks, and plan Hikarigaoka or Makino Memorial Garden as separate train outings.

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 the memorial garden’s closures and exhibitions.
  • Choose an entrance and rest area before exploring a large park.
  • Protect pond wildlife and plants by following designated paths.
