A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
佐久穂町
Explore the woodland around Shirakoma Pond and Yachiho Highland Nature Park. Shirakoma Pond lies near the boundary with Koumi; access conditions vary between approaches and areas.
This guide covers places within Sakuho, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
白駒の池・苔の森
Observe this forest lake above 2,100 metres and its mosses from designated paths. The photograph shows autumn colours in October 2011, not current conditions. Prepare for wet footing and cold, and check seasonal Route 299 restrictions, parking and buses.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
A first-visit stop
八千穂高原自然園
Walk among birches and small waterfalls in this nature park, a separate stop from Shirakoma Pond. Flowers and foliage vary by season; confirm the opening period, admission and transport in current notices.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Look for Sakuho’s fresh plums sold as prunes, or processed products, at Minasaku Marché Bloomin. Fresh-fruit harvest and sales periods vary by variety and year. Do not assume fresh fruit is still available; check stock and processed-product ingredients.
