Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Kotogahama’s seaside scenery and traditional sugar-making at the Denshokan in Geisei village. The photograph records the beach and walking area in November 2019. The Denshokan is not regularly open; ask ahead about visits and experiences.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Kotogahama beach and walking area in Geisei in November 201901

A first-visit stop

Kotogahama

琴ヶ浜

The village highlights a Pacific-facing beach and pine grove. The November 2019 photograph shows the coast and walking area, not current waves, events or swimming conditions. Keep to open paths and stay away from the water during high waves or coastal restrictions.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Geisei Denshokan

芸西村伝承館

This facility preserves traditional sugar-making skills, with work and experiences varying by season and booking. Official guidance warns it may be closed and asks visitors to enquire first. Contact the education board or operators about visits, instruction and available experiences.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Geisei’s shiratamato reflects a local sugar-making tradition. The village specialty guide identifies its producers and product information. Check ingredients, manufacturer and availability rather than inferring a sugar type from its name alone.

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.
