Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover local history at a mountain castle site associated with the Mori family and the nearby museum. Plan trail time separately from indoor visits.

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

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

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.
