Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Pirika Dam and Paleolithic culture in Imakane, Hokkaido. Plan separately for the dam landscape and the exhibitions about the Pirika archaeological site.

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

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Imakane Danshaku is a local potato brand. Check origin and ingredient labels, as well as current availability, when choosing potatoes or products made from them.

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.
