Hi, I’m Tabi!

Awara offers an onsen town and Yoshizaki history in Fukui. Start with one area of the hot-spring town; Tojinbo belongs to another city and is not included as an Awara stop.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Explore open pedestrian areas around Yunomachi Square and check Ashiyu’s use instructions before a pause. Save Yoshizaki for a separate outing.

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.
