A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
海田町
Kaita, in Hiroshima’s Aki district, offers an old-road history and a remarkable tree. Begin with the tree or former residence and plan transport separately. This town is distinct from Hiroshima city.
This guide covers places within Kaita, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

海田観音免のクスノキ
A large camphor tree protected as a Hiroshima natural monument, photographed in 2022. Respect roots and protected areas; do not climb the tree or break branches.
Getting there

旧千葉家住宅
A residence reflecting life and architecture in Kaita’s former Saigoku-road post town. Check current open days and restrictions for its garden and buildings; distinguish it from similarly named houses elsewhere.
Getting there
Locate the residence entrance in Nakamise on its official map and check open days before visiting.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Kaita satsuma is a local dish of ground grilled fish with miso and sesame, served with rice. It is not a sweet-potato dish. Check actual fish, ingredients and allergens; no constant availability or particular shop is guaranteed.
