Hi, I’m Tabi!

This is Kaneyama in Yamagata. Explore streets of white plaster and timber, then follow the Ozeki irrigation channel through the town.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Komenokobuta is a pork brand raised at a farm in Kaneyama Town. Check the producer’s official guide for products and sellers; do not assume farm tours or meals are available on site.

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.
