Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore coastal flower fields and viewpoints in Koshimizu, Hokkaido. Furetoi Observatory’s building is closed; distinguish viewing from the nearby high ground from entering the building.

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

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.
