Hi, I’m Tabi!

This is Oguni in Kumamoto, distinct from Oguni in Yamagata and neighboring Minamioguni. Choose the waterfall or roadside station for a first visit, checking current buses, roads and return transport.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A visitor-information and local-product facility with a mirrored exterior, built on the former Higo-Oguni Station site. It is not an operating railway station. The photograph shows its 2012 exterior; check current building and shop access.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Official Oguni material features Jersey milk and dairy products. Check milk origin, ingredients, storage requirements and availability. Because these contain milk, check allergen information for each product.

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.
