Hi, I’m Tabi!

Shimogo in Fukushima combines a former post town with river-cliff scenery. These are separate destinations requiring transport; choose one first.

This guide covers places within Shimogo, 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

To-no-Hetsuri

塔のへつり

Discover river scenery and cliffs shaped by erosion and weathering. Follow current access guidance for bridges, narrow paths and cliffs; a photo does not establish that a route is safe to walk.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Ouchi-juku

大内宿

Explore the thatched-roof scenery of a former post town. Buildings remain homes and shops: respect private spaces and photography guidance, and check each shop’s arrangements.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association introduces soba meals in Ouchi-juku. Check buckwheat noodle and broth ingredients and allergies; preparation and operation vary between shops. No shop’s quality, current menu or price is guaranteed.
