Hi, I’m Tabi!
Explore copper-mining history at Minetopia Besshi’s Hadeba and Tonaru areas in Niihama. These are separate areas, and Tonaru involves mountain-road access; check current road and operating guidance.
This guide covers places within Niihama, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
