Hi, I’m Tabi!

Mimasaka in Okayama offers hot-spring streets and a former post town. Check connections beyond JR Hayashino Station for Yunogo and access to Chizu Express Ohara Station for Ohara. Plan transport and returns for each area separately.

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