Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tsumagoi’s Gunma highlands bring together volcanic terrain, village history and cabbage farming. Choose the lava park or hall first and plan transport between them. Farms are working private spaces; enter only with permission.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Official tourism material introduces highland cabbage and corn. Check actual origin, season and ingredients with farm shops or restaurants; this guarantees neither local origin for every vegetable nor a particular shop.

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.
