Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore the old road at Wada-juku and the culture of obsidian. This guide covers Nagawa Town, written 長和町, distinct from the former 奈川村 in Matsumoto.

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

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

What could you try?

Look for Tartary buckwheat noodles featured in Nagawa’s tourism guide. Tartary buckwheat differs from common buckwheat, and recipes vary by shop. Check buckwheat and wheat allergens, broth ingredients and opening days.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
