Hi, I’m Tabi!

Hakuba in Nagano offers riverside scenery and living heritage. Start with public paths at Oide Park. Arrange a separate trip to Aoni and check the village’s latest notices for mountain-trail and road restrictions.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Oide Park’s public entrance → permitted riverside paths. Avoid restricted areas and plan Aoni or mountain routes separately.

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.
