Hi, I’m Tabi!

Former Masuho merged into Fujikawa in 2010. This guide stays within the former town area, around Komuro and Hirabayashi.

Places lie within the former Masuho boundary and now use Fujikawa addresses, rather than necessarily being beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
