Hi, I’m Tabi!

Plan a first visit to the Ashizuri area around Kongofuku-ji’s entrance. Ashizuri Cape’s observation deck has been closed for construction since 2 October 2026, with reopening to be announced separately. Both cape and temple photographs date to June 2009 and do not establish current access.

This guide covers places within Tosashimizu, 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

Kongofuku-ji

金剛福寺

Temple 38 of the Shikoku pilgrimage stands near Cape Ashizuri. The June 2009 photograph shows the gate and entrance, not the main hall or indoor statues. Respect worshippers and follow notices within open grounds.

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

Cape Ashizuri scenery

足摺岬の景観

The photograph shows the lighthouse above the cliffs in June 2009, not a viewpoint confirmed accessible today. The observation deck is closed for construction; also check notices about the detour towards Tengu-no-Hana. Do not cross barriers or enter work zones, using only paths confirmed open locally.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Tosashimizu is a fishing city known for products such as soda-bushi dried fish and Shimizu saba mackerel. Check origin, catches, processing and daily availability. A brand name does not mean every mackerel is the same product or intended to be eaten raw; follow shop and product preparation guidance.

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.
