Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Aizuwakamatsu architecture at red-tiled Tsurugajo and spiral Sazaedo. They are separate destinations, so plan transport and admission for each.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Official guidance explains that today’s keep was rebuilt in 1965 and retiled in red in 2011. The photograph shows its exterior in August 2019. Distinguish a park walk from paid indoor visits and allow for stairs.

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.
