Hi, I’m Tabi!

Hichisō in Gifu offers river-rock scenery and geological history. Begin with the stone museum or roadside station, choosing designated viewpoints rather than climbing down to gorge rocks.

This guide covers places within Hichisō, 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.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Choose the stone museum or roadside station first and view the river from designated areas. Check connecting routes and keep out of roadways, railway grounds and waterside rocks.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
