Tamagawa Walking Guide — 13 Spots Around the Kofun Hill and Den-en-chofu 1-chome

Around Tamagawa Station there are 13 registered walking spots, ranging from shrines to a park built around ancient burial mounds, plus a bakery and an okonomiyaki restaurant. All five spots with a recorded address sit in Den-en-chofu 1-chome, Ota City, so they fall within one walkable loop from the station. Not a single spot has a budget recorded, so a route that strings together the parks and shrines costs almost nothing.

A suggested order

If you start early, begin with Restaurant fu-haku, which serves breakfast from 8:30 to 11:00. Then: Den-en-chofu Seseragi Park → fu-haku → Nora Bakery → Tamagawa Sengen Shrine → Tamagawadai Park → the Kofun Exhibition Room → the Aquatic Botanical Garden → Shusse Inari Shrine → Shusse Inari Children's Park → Nishimori Inari Shrine → Seiseikōrin Den-en-chōfu Training Center → BRACKETS TAMAGAWA → Taiho, moving from breakfast to parks, shrines, shopping and dinner.

Ota City Den-en-chofu Seseragi Park

[Ota City Den-en-chofu Seseragi Park](/en/spot/6a1b532c-2dd7-4011-9597-29c5e8d1346c) is the base of this walk. Restaurant fu-haku (Den-en-chōfu Seseragi-kan) stands inside it, so a rest and a meal can be handled in one stop. It works equally well as a meeting point or a turnaround point.

Restaurant fu-haku (Den-en-chōfu Seseragi-kan)

[Restaurant fu-haku (Den-en-chōfu Seseragi-kan)](/en/spot/c53a47df-249f-4ce9-9d00-e8777bd6dfdb) is a restaurant and café inside Den-en-chofu Seseragi Park. Morning service runs 8:30–11:00, which makes it a natural first stop on an early walk. The address is 1-53-12 Den-en-chofu, Ota City — inside the park itself.

Nora Bakery

[Nora Bakery](/en/spot/9400b00c-4fca-440f-9d1b-8c1b2ee5c3d6) is a bakery at 1-55-10 Den-en-chofu, Ota City. It shares the same block range as the park spots, so buying bread and eating it outdoors is an easy plan. No details about the selection are recorded, so check the counter when you arrive.

Tamagawa Sengen Shrine

[Tamagawa Sengen Shrine](/en/spot/68073ee3-1614-4cc1-8f82-9fef2c46b702) is a Sengen shrine carrying the same name as the station, Tamagawa. Only its name and nearest station are on record, so the grounds are best judged in person. It makes a calm pause before the run of parks.

Tamagawadai Park

[Tamagawadai Park](/en/spot/b83bac68-6f66-43aa-80a1-f6009cb97de7) is surrounded by burial mounds and old trees, with good views of the Tama River and the Tanzawa mountains. It is a cherry blossom spot in spring, at 1-63-1 Den-en-chofu, Ota City. Of the 13 spots, this is the one that delivers scenery and history at once.

Ota City Tamagawadai Park Kofun Exhibition Room

Aquatic Botanical Garden

[Aquatic Botanical Garden](/en/spot/884508cd-4839-4685-9453-4c4eca869b94) is, as the name says, a garden of waterside plants. No further details are recorded, but it slots in easily as a green detour between the parks.

Shusse Inari Shrine

[Shusse Inari Shrine](/en/spot/4958a8b3-eb03-4058-ad32-235b4447d535) is an Inari shrine with Tamagawa Station as its nearest station. The auspicious name alone is reason enough to walk over, and it pairs with the children's park that shares it.

Shusse Inari Children's Park

[Shusse Inari Children's Park](/en/spot/bfe0b745-7c6f-4ca2-89ea-3ec98f2ca915) shares its name with Shusse Inari Shrine. It suits a short breather after the larger parks.

Nishimori Inari Shrine

[Nishimori Inari Shrine](/en/spot/3da0a300-562f-4a6c-bc41-4b536d877c7c) is one of the three shrines registered in this area. Only the name and nearest station are recorded — this one is for walkers who enjoy finding small shrines mid-route.

Seiseikōrin Den-en-chōfu Training Center

[Seiseikōrin Den-en-chōfu Training Center](/en/spot/07d52eb9-032b-4aaa-a17f-7723fe02337a) sits among the streets of Den-en-chofu. Only its name and nearest station are on record, so treat it as a building to take in as you pass by.

BRACKETS TAMAGAWA

[BRACKETS TAMAGAWA](/en/spot/c64c0df7-9d8d-4187-af90-2dd8636488ae) is a select shop built around European vintage clothing. Three to four times a year the owner buys directly overseas. The address is 1-10-3 Den-en-chofu, Ota City — good for slipping some shopping between parks and shrines.

Taiho

One closing tip

Only 4 of the 13 spots carry a description: fu-haku, Tamagawadai Park, BRACKETS TAMAGAWA and Taiho. The other 9 are blank space waiting for whoever walks them — add what you notice to zorozoro.
