Hi, I’m Tabi!

This is Takamori in Kumamoto’s Aso area, distinct from the town in Nagano. Choose the park waterscape or wooded shrine approach first. They are separate destinations: check current roads, local transport and return services for each.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Takamori Spring Tunnel Park

高森湧水トンネル公園

Water encountered during a former railway-link project led to a park and water-source site. The photograph shows the park’s outdoor water features in 2009, not the tunnel interior. Check current arrangements separately for the tunnel and spring-water hall.

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

What could you try?

The town’s official guidance features dengaku: ingredients coated with miso and grilled over charcoal. Ingredients and sauces vary by seller; check actual fish, meat, soy, sesame and other ingredients and the current menu.
