Hi, I’m Tabi!

China is a town on Okinoerabu in Kagoshima. Start with the cave or cape. Distinguish it from Wadomari on the same island and check boats, flights and local transport separately. A tourist cave is different from a specialist caving tour.

This guide covers places within China, 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

Shoryudo Cave

昇竜洞

Visit the permitted viewing area of this tourist cave on Okinoerabu. The 2019 photo shows an entrance-side marker and trees, not stalactites inside. Check current closures, admission, weather restrictions and slippery paths.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Tamina Cape

田皆岬

Look over the coast and sea from this northwestern cape. Stay away from cliff edges and outside barriers. It is not a short walk directly from the cave; check separate transport.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The town’s official product guide features yajimame, peanuts coated in brown sugar. Check actual ingredients and current availability. This does not guarantee allergy suitability or health effects, or recommend a particular shop.

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.
