Hi, I’m Tabi!

This Hokuto is the broad city in Yamanashi. Begin with one part of the Kiyosato plateau and plan separate transport between areas.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Kiyosato station → the Moegi-no-Mura area. Arrange separate transport to Seisenryo or the falls and avoid closed valley trails.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
