Hi, I’m Tabi!

Chiyoda brings gardens, a shrine and bookshops into central Tokyo. Choose the gardens or Jinbocho for a relaxed first outing.

This guide covers places within Chiyoda Ward, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Jinbocho Station → the nearby book district, adding a meal or café break. You do not need to combine the East Gardens and Kanda Myojin into the same walk.

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 East Gardens opening days, last entry and gates.
  • Respect worship areas and photography guidance at the shrine.
  • Check each bookshop’s opening information separately.
