Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Ushibuka’s harbor bridge and the living religious heritage of Sakitsu fishing village in Amakusa. These are not a short walking circuit, so arrange transport separately. The church is a place of worship; follow booking and photography requirements.

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