Hi, I’m Tabi!

Mutsuzawa combines a roadside station introducing local produce with an older temple. Start at Tsudoi-no-Sato for information and transport planning. Gugyoji is a separate option for a quiet visit after checking its approach.

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

Gugyoji Temple

弘行寺

A temple in Shimonogo, also known as Chosei Fudoson. Explore permitted worship areas quietly and check the temple’s guidance for halls and statues. Its official site lists the café as temporarily closed, so do not plan on café service.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Tsudoi Market’s official guide introduces rice and vegetables grown in Mutsuzawa. Check origin labels and availability when choosing produce. Not every product sold at the market is local, and restaurant menus require separate confirmation.

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.
