Hi, I’m Tabi!

Enjoy Kuroshio’s coastal scenery at Irino Beach and the pine forest behind it. These are different views in the same coastal area, not a walk connecting distant districts. Photographs date to June 2022 and February 2018, not current sea or forest conditions.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Sand and sea at Irino Beach in June 202201

A first-visit stop

Irino Beach

入野の浜・入野海岸

This broad sandy shore faces the Pacific. The June 2022 photograph does not show a T-shirt art exhibition or current bathing operations. Reflections depend on tides, wind and other conditions. Check waves, weather, restrictions and evacuation guidance, and plan to enjoy the view without entering the sea.

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

Distant coastal view of Irino Matsubara in February 201802

A first-visit stop

Irino Matsubara

入野松原

Pines extend behind Irino Beach. The February 2018 photograph is a distant view from the coastal side, not an image of a path inside the forest. Conservation and restoration work take place here; use open paths and heed work zones, falling-branch risks and local notices.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Katsuo tataki is part of Kuroshio’s food scene and the wider Kochi tradition. Official tourism guidance introduces straw-seared skipjack products enjoyed with salt or yuzu-based sauce. Menus, ingredients and booking arrangements vary by restaurant and seller, so check ahead.

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.
