A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
紀北町
Kihoku is a town of forest and coast in Mie, distinct from Owase City. Begin around Choshi River and Tanemaki Gonbei no Sato, checking waterside and trail conditions before a modest stroll.
This guide covers places within Kihoku, 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
銚子川
A river flowing between woods and settlements, with tidal waters downstream. The photo shows the river and Kihoku in 2015. Choose a view from public waterside paths rather than an outing that requires entering the river.
Getting there
Check rain, water levels and local restrictions
02A first-visit stop
種まき権兵衛の里
A Japanese garden with ponds and trees beside the Choshi River, associated with local stories of Gonbei. The photo dates from 2009; flowers and scenery vary by season.
Getting there
Check the garden entrance and visiting guidance in Binnoyama
A first-visit stop
道の駅海山
Pause and browse regional dried seafood and wood products. This is also a source of information on Choshi River and Magose Pass. The pass lies on the Owase boundary; its mountain route is a separate outing from a short riverside stroll.
Getting there
Arrange transport separately from the garden
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Official information features dried seafood among regional products. Check fish species and origin labels at the roadside station; ingredients and availability vary, and not every product is made in Kihoku.
Official guide03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
Try public garden paths and, following local signs, a view of Choshi River before returning. Keep out of the river and follow restrictions during rain. Plan the roadside station and any mountain hike separately.
Check the walking routeCheck actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.
