A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
国富町
Kunitomi in Miyazaki combines agricultural products, a rock-carved Buddha and hillside temple heritage. Plan transport separately for Honjo/Tajiri and Hokkedake. Check bus and return connections; these are not a short, flat combined walk.
This guide covers places within Kunitomi, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
