Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Maniwa through Katsuyama’s historic streets and Kanba Falls. Check transport between them and current park access, then begin with one stop.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

01

A first-visit stop

Kanba Falls

神庭の滝

View the falls from designated paths in the nature park. Heavy rain or snow can close the park without notice, and the city asks visitors not to bring pets inside. Check slippery paths and restrictions; do not approach or feed wild monkeys.

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

A first-visit stop

Katsuyama Historic Preservation District

勝山町並み保存地区

Explore streets of historic merchant buildings and noren curtains. The photograph dates from 2017; shops and curtains may have changed. This is a living neighbourhood: stay off private property and ask before photographing people or shops.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Hiruzen yakisoba is introduced as a dish from Maniwa’s Hiruzen area, combining chicken, cabbage and a miso-based sauce. This is not an immediately adjacent food stop in Katsuyama. Check the chosen shop’s opening days, ingredients and allergens.

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.
