Hi, I’m Tabi!

Former Shikamachi joined Sasebo on March 31, 2010. This guide stays within the former town boundary, introducing a scenic park and a bathing facility.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Azaleas and northern Kujukushima from Nagushiyama Park, April 200801

A first-visit stop

Nagushiyama Park

長串山公園

Look out over the northern Kujukushima islands from this park. The photograph shows azaleas in April 2008, not present blooming conditions. Check visitor-centre closures separately from park access.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Shikamachi Onsen Yasuragikan

鹿町温泉やすらぎ館

This bathing facility is in Doinoura. Read its rules, admission arrangements and closure notices first. Baths and other facilities may have different conditions; respect visitors’ privacy and refrain from photography.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The city’s bathing-facility guide also introduces a direct-sales area for local vegetables and processed seafood. Check origin labels and ingredients, and confirm retail, dining and bathing operations separately.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
