Hi, I’m Tabi!

Mifune is a town in Kumamoto. Its dinosaur museum and an old-road stone bridge offer different perspectives on the past. Treat them as separate destinations and check current roads, buses and return transport.

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