A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
北塩原村
Check the day’s nature information at the visitor centre before exploring Urabandai’s ponds. Goshikinuma has time restrictions related to bear activity; it is not an unrestricted all-day walk.
This guide covers places within Kitashiobara, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Check at the centre first; continue to the ponds only where and when permitted.
