Hi, I’m Tabi!

This large town offers river-bend rice terraces and a former railway path. Aragijima and Poppo-michi are separate outings, so plan transport between them.

This guide covers places within Aridagawa, 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?

Michi-no-Eki Aragi-no-Sato near the terraces introduces konnyaku udon and local products. Look for seasonal vegetables and budo-sansho pepper, with availability checked on the day.

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.
