Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit a small station near Ōmura Bay and a roadside market in tea-growing Higashisonogi. Give rail passengers and everyday village activity priority as you explore.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Chiwata Station

千綿駅

A wooden station building on the Ōmura Line, close to the bay. The exterior photograph dates from 2017. This is an operating railway: stay behind platform safety lines, never enter the tracks, and leave room for passengers and pickup vehicles.

Getting there

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Sonogi tea is produced in Higashisonogi. Compare producers and varieties at local outlets such as the roadside station. Tea fields are working farms: do not enter without permission or obstruct agricultural work.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
