Hi, I’m Tabi!

Daigo is a northern Ibaraki town of hills, rivers and waterfalls. Choose one waterfall first, planning return transport rather than combining every attraction into one walk.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the Fukuroda visitor entrance → accessible viewing areas after checking admission and weather. Plan the other waterfall or former school as separate outings.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
