Hi, I’m Tabi!

This region key refers to former Ueki Town, merged into Kumamoto City on 23 March 2010. Addresses now use Uekimachi, Kita Ward, Kumamoto. Plan transport for each destination rather than treating it as central Kumamoto.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Satsuma Rebellion memorial at Tabaruzaka Park in June 201501

A first-visit stop

Tabaruzaka Park and Seinan War Museum

田原坂公園・西南戦争資料館

Learn about the Satsuma Rebellion and commemorate its victims. The June 2015 photograph shows a park memorial, not the museum interior. Check exhibition entry conditions separately and respect memorial spaces.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Ueki Onsen

植木温泉

A hot-spring area around the Koshi River with several inns and bathing facilities. Day bathing, reservations and entry conditions differ by establishment; check with each operator.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The official tourism guide features Ueki watermelons and farm produce. Check origin, harvest season and current availability; the same fruit and activities are not guaranteed year-round.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Choose the museum and park after checking entry conditions. Arrange onward travel and bathing guidance separately for the hot springs, planning return connections first.

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.
