Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore castle-town history and festival culture in Shinjō. Begin with the Furusato History Center, then continue to Tozawa Shrine in Mogami Park.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Shinjō’s torimotsu ramen combines soy-based broth with simmered chicken offal. Use the city’s food guide to find restaurants and check each menu and opening day.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
