Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a coastal park and a straight road across open country. Esanuka is a working road used by farm vehicles, not simply a photography site.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for local scallops and processed scallop products. The park-restaurant meal photograph is from 2008, not a current menu or price listing. Check ingredients, allergens and storage guidance with the seller.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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 entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
