Gorgeous, right? Well, it’s about to become an even more enjoyable place thanks to a collaboration between Pokémon GO and the Amanohashidate Sightseeing Association! The two have come together to create an incredible map designed for Pokémon trainers visiting the area. Not only does it have the major must-see tourist spots, but the local gyms and major Pokéstops to visit!

It seems like we can look forward to more plans by Pokémon GO to keep us playing and training~
