Hi, I’m Tabi!

Meet highland waters and woodland at Lake Megami and Gosensui Nature Park. This guide covers Tateshina Town, written 立科町, rather than the whole Tateshina Highland area on the Chino side.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for Tateshina Town apples and products such as juice or apple pie. Shinano Sweet, Shinano Gold and Fuji have different harvest periods. Check current varieties and stock, and ask separately about reservations for orchard visits or picking.
