Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nikaho in southern Akita connects the coast with the foot of Mount Chokai. Begin with forest waters or Kisakata’s temple. Plan their transport, entrances and return trips separately instead of assuming a direct walking route.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
