Hi, I’m Tabi!

This guide covers Awaji City in northern Awaji Island; Sumoto and Minamiawaji are separate cities. Choose a shrine, flower park or earthquake memorial first and plan island transport and your return.

This guide covers places within Awaji, 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

Keep your first walk simple

Try Izanagi Jingu-mae bus stop → the shrine’s public worship route. Check return transport and explore quietly. Plan the two parks separately and check seasonal flowers and indoor opening.

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