Hi, I’m Tabi!

Hachimantai is a city in Iwate. Discover different sides of it at a forest waterfall and a mining-history museum. These are separate places across a broad area: check transport individually and seasonal mountain-road restrictions.

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