Hi, I’m Tabi!
At the foot of Kirishima, explore local traditions about Emperor Jimmu alongside wooded spaces. Allow time for the shrine approach and a relaxed stop at a family park.
This guide covers places within Takaharu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

A first-visit stop
Sano Shrine
狭野神社
Follow the cedar-lined approach to the shrine. Stories linking the place name with Emperor Jimmu’s childhood name are local traditions, rather than independently established historical events. The photograph dates to 2019; respect on-site directions and festival arrangements.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
A park with timber play spaces and a café using local wood. Indoor play facilities and covered outdoor equipment may have different conditions. Thursday closures have seasonal exceptions, so check your intended date and the road route from the shrine.
Getting there Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
Local black tea is made from tea leaves grown in Takaharu for green tea. Check origin and ingredient labels when choosing tea or gifts. Follow the product’s brewing and storage advice, and check current café menus rather than assuming it is always served.
