Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tamana is a city in Kumamoto. Begin with Takase’s waterside streets or Rengein Tanjoji’s main temple. Flowers in the hero photograph date from May 2026 and do not guarantee blooms during your visit. Check current onward and return transport from the station.

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