Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nojiri is a former town area that merged with Kobayashi in 2010. This guide covers destinations within the saved former Nojiri boundary, rather than an independent municipality or all of Kobayashi. Check current facility and transport guidance for Nojirikopia and Yuparu Nojiri. Photographs date from 2008.

Destinations lie within the saved former Nojiri GID_2 boundary, rather than all of modern Kobayashi or places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Nojirikopia exterior in 200801

A first-visit stop

Nojirikopia

のじりこぴあ

A leisure facility beside Lake Nojiri. The photograph shows its exterior in 2008 and does not promise every ride or pool operates today. Check the operator’s latest notices and opening and rules for the particular facility you want to use.

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

Yuparu Nojiri roadside station exterior in 200802

A first-visit stop

Yuparu Nojiri Roadside Station

道の駅ゆ~ぱるのじり

A roadside station featuring dishes using regional ingredients and agricultural produce. The photograph shows its exterior in 2008. Check current restaurant, retail and bathing operations individually through official guidance rather than judging them from an old photo.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Official Kobayashi guidance features regional produce including Earl’s melons. This does not guarantee every product originates in Nojiri. Check actual origin, variety, harvest season and current availability; a brand name does not establish the sweetness of every melon.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

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.
