Hi, I’m Tabi!

Nishinoomote is a city in northern Tanegashima, Kagoshima. Start with the beach or a history exhibit. Check sea or air access and local transport separately; do not confuse the space center with a landmark in this city.

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