Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kinko is a town on Kagoshima’s Osumi Peninsula. Choose different waterside scenery at Kamikawa Falls and the Hanaze River in the Tashiro area. Check road access and return transport separately. This route stays out of the water.

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