Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nagai offers parks shaped by flowers and water. Iris Park and Shirotsutsuji Park bloom at different times, so check current flower reports before visiting.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Flowers and lanterns at Nagai Iris Park, 201201

A first-visit stop

Nagai Iris Park

長井あやめ公園

This park displays many varieties of Japanese iris. The 2012 photograph shows flowers and lanterns, rather than a nightly lighting guarantee. Check this year’s bloom, festival and admission information.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Hyoutan Pond at Shirotsutsuji Park, August 201902

A first-visit stop

Shirotsutsuji Park

白つつじ公園(松ヶ池公園)

Also called Matsugaike Park, this park is known for white azaleas. The photograph shows its pond in August 2019, outside the azalea bloom. Enjoy a quiet walk along the paths.

Getting there

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Nagai’s baniku ramen combines a soy-based broth with slow-cooked horse-meat chashu. Find restaurants in the official food guide and check their menus and opening days.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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 entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
