Hi, I’m Tabi!

Shibushi is a port city in eastern Kagoshima. Start with the railway park or temple. The hero shows the port from Mount Jin in 2009, not current access to its docks. Distinguish working wharves from passenger areas and check rail or ferry schedules.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The official city tourism guide features eel. Check actual origin, preparation, sauce ingredients and current menus. This does not recommend a particular shop or guarantee local production or prices for every eel dish.

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.
