Hi, I’m Tabi!

Begin at Azalea for village information, then consider a mountain-village lodging and bathing stop. This guide covers visitor facilities, not unrestricted access throughout the village.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Katsurao Azalea exterior in May 201901

A first-visit stop

Azalea reconstruction exchange centre

復興交流館あぜりあ

A base for visitor information, rest and local products. The exterior photograph dates from May 2019 and does not show later display or shop changes. Ask first about today’s accessible destinations and roads.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Midorinosato Seseragiso

みどりの里せせらぎ荘

A village facility offering lodging and day bathing. Its groundwater baths should not be interpreted as a claim of therapeutic hot-spring benefits. Confirm day-bathing operation and accommodation reservations directly.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Shimi-mochi is a traditional Katsurao preserved rice cake made by freezing and drying. Azalea’s product information describes yomogi and gonboppa herbs. Check each product’s ingredients and preparation instructions; stock may run out.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Ask Azalea for current advice and walk only in open visitor areas. Stay out of restricted zones, including those in Noyuki, and plan a separate transfer to Seseragiso.

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.
