Hi, I’m Tabi!

Sukagawa in Fukushima offers a peony garden, local history and riverside park scenery. Choose the garden or the museum-and-park area, checking flower seasons and return transport.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the museum area → marked paths in Midorigaoka Park, after checking opening days and river conditions. Plan separate transport for the peony garden and do not assume it is always in bloom.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
