Hi, I’m Tabi!

Iiyama is a city in Nagano. Explore nature at Nanohana Park and local history at Iiyama Castle Site Park. The hero photograph shows spring flowers in 2019, rather than a promise of the same flowers in autumn. Check current paths, public areas and return services for each.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Sasazushi is a regional dish placing rice and toppings such as mountain vegetables and walnuts on bamboo leaves. Ingredients and preparation vary by product and shop. Check current menus, actual ingredients and allergens such as nuts, and distinguish origin stories from established history.
