Hi, I’m Tabi!

Minamimaki is 南牧村 in Nagano, distinct from the namesake village in Gunma. Explore science at Nobeyama Radio Observatory or highland farm life at Takizawa Farm. The observatory is a research facility, and farm activities follow operator guidance. Check current visiting conditions and return services separately.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Radio telescopes at Nobeyama Observatory in 200901

A first-visit stop

Nobeyama Radio Observatory

野辺山宇宙電波観測所

A National Astronomical Observatory of Japan facility studying space through radio waves. Its 2009 photograph does not imply every pictured instrument still operates. Distinguish research and public areas, and check current visiting, event and site rules.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Takizawa Farm

滝沢牧場

A farm in Nobeyama whose operator documents animal-related activities. A decorative place-name panel is used because the candidate photograph was too small. Check current activities, reservations, animal-contact rules and dining guidance with the operator.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association features dairy menus such as Takizawa Farm’s ice cream. Treat this as one local food example and check current menus, actual ingredients and milk allergens. Do not extend a village-only milk-origin claim to all dairy products.

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.
