Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore neighborhoods and culture along the Chuo Line. Choose the Ogikubo garden, animation museum or Asagaya shrine first, rather than combining separate station areas.

This guide covers places within Suginami 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.

Otaguro Park’s garden in autumn 201901

A first-visit stop

Otaguro Park

大田黒公園

A Japanese garden on Motoo Otaguro’s former residential grounds. Enjoy its pond and trees; the 2019 autumn photo does not promise current foliage or illumination.

Getting there

02

A first-visit stop

Tokyo Polytechnic University Suginami Animation Museum

東京工芸大学杉並アニメーションミュージアム

A museum introducing Japanese animation history and production. Check current exhibitions, activities and closures before visiting.

The worship hall at Asagaya Shinmeigu03

A first-visit stop

Asagaya Shinmeigu Shrine

阿佐ヶ谷神明宮

A shrine north of Asagaya station. Add a quiet look at its trees and worship spaces to a neighborhood walk.

Getting there
Approach from the north side of JR Asagaya station

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Taiyaki, a fish-shaped sweet with bean filling, is featured among Asagaya’s shopping-street snacks. It is not unique to this ward; check ingredients and availability at shops.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Ogikubo station → Otaguro Park. Check a separate route to the museum, or plan Asagaya as another train-based outing.

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 garden closures and autumn event notices.
  • Check museum exhibitions and activity availability.
  • Follow shrine worship and photography guidance.
