Hi, I’m Tabi!

Naganohara offers the Agatsuma River, Yamba history and highland scenery in Gunma. Begin with the museum or roadside station in the Hayashi district. Plan mountain visits or dam interiors separately.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Yamba Tenmei Mudflow Museum

やんば天明泥流ミュージアム

A museum presenting Asama’s 1783 eruption, mudflow impacts and village life at the time. The photo shows the exterior in 2022. Check exhibitions and audiovisual experiences; this is not a report of current volcanic conditions.

Getting there
Check road transport from JR Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi Station to the Hayashi district, using the museum’s official access guide and return arrangements.

02

A first-visit stop

Roadside Station Yamba Furusato-kan

道の駅 八ッ場ふるさと館

A roadside rest facility for regional produce, food and tourist information. Check dining, shop and foot-bath arrangements separately. Nearby bridges and the dam are separate facilities, with no assumption of unrestricted entry.

Getting there
Locate the facility in Hayashi; follow current walking guidance between the museum and roadside station, separately from dam interiors.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The official tourism guide introduces dam curry bread as a food example at Yamba Furusato-kan. Check actual ingredients, allergens and availability with vendors. No shop recommendation or menu or price on every date is guaranteed.

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.
