Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kuromatsunai is a town in Hokkaido’s Shiribeshi region. Begin with local information at the roadside station, then choose the museum to learn about beech trees. For a forest visit, first check local bear sightings and access restrictions.

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

A first-visit stop

Kuromatsunai Buna Center

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Tourism guidance introduces cheese and ham made by the town’s Toit Vert processing center. Check actual milk and meat origin, ingredients, allergens, storage and availability; no shop recommendation, current stock or price 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.
