Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kasasa in Minamisatsuma combines an intricate coastline with the brewing heritage of the Kurose master distillers. Plan travel along coastal roads and check each museum’s opening days.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Kasasa Art Museum Viewpoint

笠沙美術館展望所

The museum’s adjoining viewpoint looks over Biro Island and the East China Sea. The 2014 photograph shows the island from the viewpoint, rather than the museum building or its artworks. Check closure days if visiting the galleries.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for seafood at Kasasa restaurants using fish landed at Kataura Port. Species and menus depend on the catch and business hours, so check ahead.

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.
