Easy walkLocal sceneryA small meal

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Akashi combines castle turrets, a fish-shopping street and seaside views. Begin around the station, castle and Uonotana; plan the coast separately if preferred.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
