Hi, I’m Tabi!

The app’s former Tachibana Town area became part of Yame City in 2010. This guide covers Tobikata Nature Park and Tanigawa Plum Grove within that area, rather than all Yame. The grove is closed outside its plum-viewing event.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Distinguish the park visit from the grove’s limited seasonal opening.

01

A first-visit stop

Tobikata Nature Park

飛形自然公園

A park on Mount Tobikata offering mountain and plain scenery. Check mountain-road conditions and weather before approaching viewpoints. The cover photograph shows the second stop’s plum grove, rather than this park.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

A first-visit stop

Tanigawa Plum Grove — event access only

谷川梅林 — 観梅会期間のみ公開

A privately owned production grove opened only during its plum-viewing event. Entry outside that period is not allowed. The photo shows blossoms in February 2008; do not enter for an autumn walk, and check future event notices.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Tachibana is known for citrus and ume plums. Look for seasonal fruit or processed plum products, distinguishing the blossom season from harvest time and checking availability and ingredients.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Check the permitted entrance and public walking areas at Tobikata Nature Park. Exclude Tanigawa Plum Grove outside its plum-viewing event.

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.
