Hi, I’m Tabi!

Combine the shores of Lake Kizaki with the mountain museum. Plan lake activities and museum admission separately, allowing time to travel between them.

This guide covers places within Omachi, 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

Lake Kizaki

木崎湖

Enjoy a lake framed by trees and mountains. The photograph looks from the northwest in August 2008. Use designated accessible shore areas; check current operators and weather separately for water activities or camping.

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

A first-visit stop

Omachi Alpine Museum

市立大町山岳博物館

This museum introduces the nature and mountain culture of the Northern Alps. The exterior photograph dates from May 2009. Check current exhibitions and closing days; a museum visit is separate from preparation for a mountain climb.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association lists Shinano Oyaki Koan for naturally leavened oyaki. It is separate from the lake and museum, and the listing asks visitors to enquire before coming. Check fillings, wheat and soy allergens, and sales days.

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.
