Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Izumi-Fumoto’s historic streets and a winter crane-observation base. The sites are apart, and the observation facility operates seasonally, so plan timing and transport separately.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
