Travel has the power to connect people, hearts, and landscapes.
"Tabinoito" was born believing in that "power of connection".
The trigger was a small voice.
"Dad has returned his license, so we can no longer go to Urabandai" —.
Those words pierced my heart.
There are places I want to go, but I can't.
It's a place full of memories, but I can no longer visit.
The reality of not being able to move freely within the community.
Faced with such reality, I truly thought, "I want to do something about this" from the bottom of my heart.
The name "Tabinoito" carries the meaning of gently connecting "people to people", "people to the community", and "hearts to landscapes".
Tying the frayed thread once again, shaping someone's small hope...
This tour was born from the desire to weave "warm connections" through travel...
Travel is not just movement.
It is encounters, healing, and an important scene in life.
May "Tabinoito" gently touch somewhere in your heart
and inspire you to want to travel again.

Urabandai in winter - a silver paradise woven with tranquility and fantasy. Winter is the most beautiful season in Urabandai, enveloped in a world of pure white. On freezing mornings, the crisp air and silence invite visitors into a fantastical world. If you stroll through the forest with snowshoes, you'll be greeted by animal tracks and trees wrapped in frost.
Additionally, Urabandai Ski Resort offers slopes for beginners to advanced skiers, and at the hot spring inns, you can enjoy a luxurious time warming both body and soul while soaking in an outdoor bath with a view of the snow. Winter in Urabandai is not just "cold"; it is a special season where you can feel the tranquility of nature and the breath of life.
The tours we create are basically custom-made. For example, after circling the lakes of Urabandai, you might want to visit Aizu's Tsuruga Castle, stroll along the quiet lakeside in the early morning, enjoy Ouchi-juku, and then go to a local bar without having to walk due to mobility issues... and so on. We listen to all requests and propose the best plans tailored to each customer's needs.
