Hi, I’m Tabi!

Myoko is a city in Niigata. Begin with the Myoko-side approach to Naena Falls or Imori Pond. The waterfall lies on the prefectural border and part of the path passes through Nagano; the entire route is not presented as being within Myoko.

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