Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover sea and harbour scenery around the Etomo Peninsula. Plan Cape Chikyu and the Mitara Muroran viewing area as separate stops.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

01

A first-visit stop

Cape Chikyu

地球岬

View the Pacific and lighthouse from the cliffs at the peninsula’s southern end. Stay in designated viewing areas and avoid exposed approaches in strong wind, fog or ice. Lighthouse interiors are not presented as routinely open.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Hakucho Bridge Views at Mitara Muroran

みたら室蘭からの白鳥大橋の眺望

Official guidance describes bridge and harbour views from Mitara Muroran’s observation deck. Check that the facility is open. The photograph shows the bridge from another direction rather than the exact view from this deck. This is not a walking route across the bridge.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for curry ramen, featured in Muroran’s official visitor information. The photograph is a 2017 example from Ajino-Daioh’s Muroran main shop and does not guarantee its current menu or operation.

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.
