Hi, I’m Tabi!

Achi is a village in Nagano. Explore the streetscape of Hirugami Onsen or local culture at Chogakuji in Komaba. Historical photographs do not guarantee current bathing or facility operations. Check current conditions, access and return services for each.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

An operator in Achi documents soba menus. The named shop is an example of local food, rather than a ranking or endorsement of every shop. Check current menus, ingredients, allergens such as buckwheat and actual ingredient origins.

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
