Hi, I’m Tabi!

Meet Kamikoani at its roadside station and Yamafuji Onsen in Gotanzawa, with separate transport needed between them. Photographs show the station in June 2026 and the hot-spring exterior in March 2020, not confirmed operations on your visit day.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Roadside Station Kamikoani

道の駅かみこあに

Pause here to learn about village products and visitor information. The June 2026 photograph shows the exterior, not every shop operating. Product outlets and food facilities may keep different hours, so check each separately.

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

Yamafuji Onsen exterior in March 202002

A first-visit stop

Yamafuji Onsen

山ふじ温泉

This community facility in Gotanzawa has bathing facilities and a large tatami room. The photograph shows its exterior in March 2020, not the baths. Check Wednesday and New Year closures and current operation; enquire separately about uses such as meetings.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Edible ground cherries are a Kamikoani specialty, cultivated specifically as food. Do not confuse them with ornamental or wild fruits. Ask sellers such as the roadside station about current fresh or processed products and their ingredients.

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.
