A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
四万十町
Shimanto Town is a separate municipality from neighbouring Shimanto City. Plan Iwamoto-ji in Kubokawa and the mountain-area Kaiyodo Hobby Museum as separate visits. The photograph records the temple grounds in June 2009, not current exhibitions or events.
This guide covers places within Shimanto Town, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
岩本寺
Temple 37 of the Shikoku pilgrimage offers a stop in Kubokawa. The June 2009 photograph shows trees and buildings in the grounds, not its well-known interior ceiling paintings. Respect worshippers and check indoor access and photography rules locally.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE
Niida-mai represents rice grown around Shimanto Town. Varieties and aromatic-rice blends can differ by producer and product; check packaging. Do not assume every bowl served in town is the same product, and ask about availability.
