Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Nakasatsunai through a roadside food stop and a waterfall nearer the mountains. Check transport between the village centre and valley, along with seasonal restrictions.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Michi-no-Eki Nakasatsunai

道の駅なかさつない

Pause and browse village produce and food products. The exterior photograph is from 2008 and may differ from today’s shops or facilities. Check individual opening days and watch vehicle movements in the car park.

Pyōtan Falls in 201302

A first-visit stop

Pyōtan Falls

ピョウタンの滝

This waterfall formed after a small hydroelectric dam was buried by flood debris. The 2013 photograph does not promise current water levels. Check valley-road closures, seasonal access and wildlife notices; keep out of the river and waterfall base.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Edamame, eggs and chicken are introduced as village specialties. Check origins and the day’s menus at the roadside station, including processed-food ingredients, allergens and storage 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.
