Hi, I’m Tabi!

A village of rice fields and a beech-forested plateau. Explore local farming through its roadside market, then plan a separate highland outing when the season and road conditions allow.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

FARMUS Kijimadaira

道の駅ファームス木島平

A roadside station adapted from a former tomato-processing factory. The exterior photo dates to 2015 and does not guarantee the current shop layout. Retail, meal services and events may operate differently, so check current opening information and food availability.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Kayanodaira Plateau

カヤの平高原

A mountain plateau with beech woods and wetland trails. Access roads close for winter; the official guide describes closure roughly from early November to late May. Allow for altitude and return travel, and check road, trail and local conditions before setting out.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Locally grown rice is a featured product of Kijimadaira. At FARMUS or another outlet, check origin, variety and milling date. Do not assume an event-day meal service operates routinely; ask separately about ready-to-eat dishes and bags of rice for sale.

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.
