Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nihonmatsu in Fukushima offers castle ruins and local artistic history. Choose one destination first; its mountain and hot-spring areas are separate outings.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Kasumigajo Park and Nihonmatsu Castle Ruins

霞ヶ城公園・二本松城跡

Explore castle ruins, stone walls and the reconstructed Minowa Gate. The gate was rebuilt in 1982; it is not an untouched original building. Check slopes, steps, event areas and current restrictions.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Chieko Birthplace and Memorial Museum

智恵子の生家・智恵子記念館

Learn about Takamura Chieko at her birthplace and the memorial museum behind it. Check displays, admission, closures and photography conditions. This is a separate stop from the castle ruins.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

A local confectioner’s official guide introduces Nihonmatsu’s tama yokan, a round adzuki-bean confection. Follow packaging and opening instructions, and check product ingredients and allergies. This is not a recommendation or guarantee of current stock or prices.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
