Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Nishimeya’s dam surroundings and Shirakami visitor facilities separately. Visiting facilities is different from hiking into protected forest.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Valve-house and power facilities below Tsugaru Dam, April 201901

A first-visit stop

Tsugaru Dam surroundings

津軽ダム周辺

The photograph shows discharge-valve and power-station facilities downstream of the dam in April 2019. Distinguish public viewing areas from operational facilities and follow discharge, weather and access notices.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Shirakami Visitor Center

白神山地ビジターセンター

Use the center as a starting point for Shirakami visitor information. Check opening and exhibition arrangements; a visit does not replace procedures or permission needed for protected-area access.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Beech Nishimeya’s official site introduces seasonal local foods including apples, mountain vegetables and mushrooms. Check availability and processed-food ingredients; this is not advice to gather and eat wild plants.

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.
