Hi, I’m Tabi!

Former Kitakawabe is now the Kitakawabe area of Kazo. This guide covers stops in the former town, not all of Kazo or the entire Watarase wetland.

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

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Kazo introduces local rice including Kitakawabe Koshihikari. This does not mean every shop product is locally grown; check origin and availability.

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.
