Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Tokachi’s greenery and local history at a garden and a museum in Makubetsu. This guide follows the original app GID and does not extend into former Churui.

This guide covers places within Makubetsu, 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?

Plan a meal or tea overlooking the garden at Tokachi Hills’ NIWAKARA cafe. Check seasonal menus, daily operation and items requiring reservations. As the cafe is inside the garden, also check garden admission requirements.

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.
