Hi, I’m Tabi!

Hata is a former town area that merged into Matsumoto in 2010. This guide covers Anyoji and Nyakutakuji’s ruins within the saved former Hata boundary, rather than all of Matsumoto. Check current visiting, mountain-path access and return services separately. The hero photo shows Anyoji in 2012.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Anyoji building in Hata in 201201

A first-visit stop

Anyoji Temple

安養寺

A temple in Hata with gardens and trees to explore. The photograph shows its building in 2012 and does not guarantee present-day cherry blossoms or interior access. Distinguish it from namesake temples elsewhere and follow current visiting and photography guidance.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Nyakutakuji Temple Ruins

若澤寺跡

A site with traces of a former temple, distinct from an operating temple or the Anyoji building in the photograph. Do not assume routes in an older district guide remain accessible; check mountain paths, local restrictions and return services.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Official regional tourism guidance features Hata’s watermelons. Check actual origins, varieties, harvest seasons and current availability. Historical tourism material does not establish year-round sales or that every fruit comes from Hata.

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.
