Hi, I’m Tabi!

This guide covers Tokunoshima Town, rather than the entire island. Explore Aze’s coast and Kanami’s cycad path, distinguishing these stops from attractions in the island’s other towns and checking local transport.

This guide covers places within Tokunoshima Town, 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

Aze Prince Beach Seaside Park

畦プリンスビーチ海浜公園

The photograph, published in 2012, shows the winter coast. The town states that it has no designated bathing beaches, so plan a scenery-viewing visit. Beware of sharp coral, rocks and waves; do not assume supervised or safe swimming.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Kanamizaki Cycad Tunnel

金見崎ソテツトンネル

In the Kanami district, cycads arch over a path to form a natural tunnel. Check path conditions and walk quietly without breaking plants or straying off the path.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for cane brown sugar and brown-sugar sweets, island specialties also introduced in the town’s official guide. They are not exclusive to this town; check each product’s ingredients and seller.

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.
