A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
南関町
Discover Nankan through a historic roadside residence and a hill park. Start with the old building, then add a walk according to the weather and your return transport.
This guide covers places within Nankan, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
豊前街道南関御茶屋跡
This surviving residence once provided rest and lodging for the domain lord. Look at the room arrangement and Hosokawa family emblems on the roof. It closes on Tuesdays, shifting to Wednesday for a public holiday, with additional holiday closures.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
A first-visit stop
大津山公園
This nature park surrounds a 256-metre hill known as Nankan Fuji. Begin at the gate and assess slopes and footing before heading upward. Cherry blossom and wisteria descriptions refer to spring, not to flowers you should expect in autumn.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Nankan-age is dried fried tofu that softens as it absorbs broth. A local rice bowl pairs it with sweet-savory seasoning, onion and egg. Check the day’s menu and ingredients, including soy, egg and the stock.
