Hi, I’m Tabi!

This guide covers the former Jōnan town area, now in Kumamoto City’s Minami Ward. Jōnan merged into Kumamoto on 23 March 2010. Explore its burial-mound park and products market as separate stops.

Destinations lie within the app’s former Jōnan boundary, now part of Minami Ward, Kumamoto City; they are not necessarily beside your check-in.

Tsukawara Burial Mound Park

塚原古墳公園

This historic park preserves reconstructed burial mounds of several shapes. The December 2013 photograph may differ from current conditions. Use designated paths and keep out of fenced areas and tomb interiors. Check nearby indoor facilities separately from park access.

A first-visit stop

Hinokimi Marché

火の君マルシェ

A local-products market offers produce and processed foods from the former Jōnan area. It is separate from the park, so check the journey and return transport. Confirm closing days and current sales, and use pedestrian routes through the car park.
