A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
大津町
This guide covers Ōzu Town in Kumamoto, distinct from Ōzu City in Ehime and Ōtsu City in Shiga. Choose the shrine or town park first and plan the roadside station separately.
This guide covers places within Ōzu Town, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01A first-visit stop
日吉神社
A hillside shrine for town views and local worship. Azaleas are a spring attraction rather than year-round flowers. The photo dates from 2024; check steps and respect worship routes.
Getting there
Check public approaches to the shrine in Ozu
A first-visit stop
昭和園
A town park featured for spring azaleas and autumn foliage. Flowers and colors depend on weather. Pause on marked paths and check facility guidance.
Getting there
Check the park’s location and transport in Muro
03A first-visit stop
道の駅大津
Browse regional produce and specialties at a roadside station on Route 57. The 2009 exterior photo may differ from current shops and products. Check pedestrian routes around vehicle entrances.
Getting there
Check separate transport to the roadside station in Hikimizu
02 · A LITTLE BITE
The town’s tourism guide features karaimo, or sweet potatoes, as a specialty. Check origin, ingredients, season and availability for roasted potatoes or processed products, rather than assuming every sweet-potato snack uses local produce.
Official guide03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
Begin around Hiyoshi Shrine’s public worship paths, allowing for hills and steps. Do not expect spring azaleas in autumn. Check separate locations and transport for Showa Park and the roadside station.
