Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Kashiwajima’s island scenery and Kannon Rock on the Odo coast in Otsuki, Kochi, distinct from Otsuki city in Yamanashi. The photograph shows Kashiwajima at dusk in April 2011, not current sea colours or swimming conditions.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Distant Kashiwajima island and sea at dusk in April 201101

A first-visit stop

Kashiwajima

柏島

Enjoy the island and sea where bridges connect to the peninsula. The April 2011 photograph is a distant view, not the visitor centre or a diving scene. Respect residents and harbour work, using designated parking and public viewpoints.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Kannon Rock

観音岩

This rock below the Odo coast’s cliffs takes its name from its resemblance to Kannon. View it from permitted points along the path, avoiding cliff edges and any descent below. Check wind, waves, path restrictions and return transport first.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Higashiyama is a local sweet-potato snack described by the town as thoroughly cooked and dried. Check origin, ingredients and stock when looking in local shops. Do not assume every shop always sells it or uses the same method.

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.
