A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
水上村
Meet the upper Kuma River and cedar forests in this mountain village. Start around the dam, then plan any mountain walk separately for the weather and your fitness.
This guide covers places within Mizukami, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
市房ダム
This dam stands on the upper Kuma River. The photograph shows its downstream face in 2008; it does not establish the current visitor route. Use public areas and apply to the management office for control-room or interior tours.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
A first-visit stop
市房山神宮
The shrine sits at the fourth stage of Mount Ichifusa, reached by a mountain path through old cedars. Check trail conditions, weather and equipment before setting out. This is not a level village stroll; choose a turnaround time rather than assuming a summit climb.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
The village lists locally grown rice, tea and chestnuts among its specialties. Check Mizukami origin labels and ask what seasonal produce is available that day.
