Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a former post town and a mountain hamlet. The Ishitani Residence and Itaibara are separate visits; respect the people who live here.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Ishitani Residence

石谷家住宅

An Important Cultural Property in Chizu’s old post town. This 2015 image shows the garden pond and trees, rather than a full building view. Check current visitor areas and photography rules.

Getting there

Itaibara Hamlet

板井原集落

The photograph shows a thatched house and mountain setting in 2007; today’s appearance may differ. This is a living hamlet: keep out of private property and ask before photographing residents.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Kakinoha-zushi is local sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves, featured in Chizu’s food heritage. Ask the seller about availability and ingredients.

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.
