A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
岡谷市
Okaya is a city in Nagano. Explore silk-industry history at Silk Fact Okaya and water management at Kamaguchi Floodgate. Historical photographs do not establish today’s production or water levels. Check museum access and permitted paths around the floodgate separately.
This guide covers places within Okaya, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
