Hi, I’m Tabi!

Aki is a city in eastern Kochi. Distinguish it from similarly named places. Begin slowly with Doi’s clock tower or historical streets. Check current onward transport and return services from Aki Station on the Gomen–Nahari Line.

This guide covers places within Aki, 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

Noradokei Clock

野良時計

This clock tower helped people tell time while working in the fields. The April 2012 exterior photograph does not guarantee current operation. View it from permitted exterior areas and stay out of the private home.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Doi Kachu

土居廓中

Walk streets and hedges in this preserved former samurai residential district. It remains a lived-in area: use public streets and do not enter homes or gardens without permission.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Regional tourism material features chirimen-don, rice topped with small dried fish. Ingredients and preparation vary by seller, so check the actual dish and current availability. No particular restaurant’s current menu, price or rating is guaranteed.

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.
