Hi, I’m Tabi!

Soo is a city in northeastern Kagoshima. Start with the cave or waterfall in Takarabe. Check each entrance and the return journey. It is a different city from nearby Shibushi.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Rock at Mizonokuchi Cave entrance in 201901

A first-visit stop

Mizonokuchi Cave

溝ノ口洞穴

See rock and woodland by this cave entrance in Takarabe. The photo dates to 2019. Follow natural-monument rules and local restrictions; this guide does not suggest exploring deep inside the dark cave.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Kirihara Falls in 201102

A first-visit stop

Kirihara Falls

桐原の滝

View this Takarabe waterfall from permitted viewing areas. The photo dates to 2011. Check river and rock conditions and access restrictions; do not treat it as a short walk directly from the cave.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city’s official product guide features products made with local yuzu. Check actual origin, sugars, ingredients such as chilli, and current availability in drinks or seasonings. A generic citrus photo is not evidence of a Soo product.

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.
