Hi, I’m Tabi!

Gokase is a mountain town in Miyazaki. Explore local culture and scenery at Josenji Temple and Sangasho Shrine. The hero photo shows Josenji’s cherry tree in April 2025, rather than the shrine. Check access and return services for each without assuming current bloom or opening conditions.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Weeping cherry at Josenji Temple on April 8, 202501

A first-visit stop

Josenji Temple

浄専寺

A temple known for its weeping cherry tree, shown on April 8, 2025. Bloom on your visit is not guaranteed. Respect tree-protection areas and visiting and photography rules and check current paths and public areas.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Sangasho Shrine

三ヶ所神社

A shrine at the foot of the mountain with architecture and carvings to explore. The Josenji photograph does not depict this shrine. Distinguish this destination from the mountain-top inner shrine and follow current visiting, access and photography guidance.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Kamairicha is tea made by pan-firing leaves rather than steaming them, featured in the town’s specialty guide. Check the actual product’s origin, processing, storage instructions and current availability. This does not imply all tea shares one variety or flavor.
