Hi, I’m Tabi!

Gujo includes a broad mountain region. This guide starts with Hachiman’s town streets and water features, leaving the hilltop castle as an optional climb.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
