Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit Yamada Onsen and Yataki Falls in Takayama Village, Nagano, distinct from Takayama City in Gifu. Check transport between the stops and seasonal access separately.

This guide covers places within Takayama, 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

Yamada Onsen Oyu

山田温泉 大湯

The October 2015 photograph shows the exterior of this wooden public bath, not its bathing rooms or an open-air bath. Check admission, closing days, last entry and what to bring, and follow local photography rules.

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

A first-visit stop

Yataki Falls

八滝

View the cascading falls from the designated viewing area. The photograph dates from July 2012, not the current autumn season. Official guidance says the observation platform is inaccessible during snowy months; check road and platform access and respect closures.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for Takayama’s apples and grapes. Varieties and harvest or sales periods differ between growers. Visible orchards are not automatically open for visits or picking; check sales, reservations and permission to enter farmland.

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 directions

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.
