Hi, I’m Tabi!
This guide follows the app’s Aira Town boundary before the March 23, 2010 merger. It covers the history museum and Shigetomi coast within that former town, rather than all of today’s Aira City.
This guide covers places within Former Aira Town, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Aira City History and Folklore Museum
姶良市歴史民俗資料館
This local history museum is in Higashimochida. The photograph shows its exterior in 2025, rather than city hall. Check the city’s current information for exhibitions and closure days.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Pine trees and tidal flats frame views over Kinko Bay toward Sakurajima. The bathing beach operates seasonally; an October visit does not imply an open swimming season. Follow tide conditions and local access notices when exploring.

Official Shigetomi coast information introduces fish sold at nearby Shigetomi fishing port. Coastal access and market operation are separate; check sale dates and whether the market is running. Ask about species and preparation when buying.
