Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit a sea-shaped rock and a museum of island history. Plan transport between your port and the two stops before setting out.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Natural Monkey Rock, Saruiwa, on Iki in November 200701

A first-visit stop

Saruiwa / Monkey Rock

猿岩

A natural rock at the tip of Kurosaki Peninsula that resembles a monkey in profile. This photograph dates to November 2007. Stories of it anchoring the island are mythology. View from designated public areas, avoid climbing rocks or cliffs, and check wind, waves and return transport.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Iki City Ikikoku Museum

壱岐市立一支国博物館

A museum exploring Yayoi-period life and island exchanges through sites including Harunotsuji. Distinguish building access from paid exhibition admission. Check current displays, last entry and closures, and never excavate or collect at archaeological sites. A decorative panel replaces an exterior photograph that did not meet resolution requirements.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association features unimeshi, a local rice dish cooked with sea urchin. Harvest seasons and daily supply differ; availability outside the fishing season is not guaranteed. Check reservations, stock, seafood and seasoning ingredients.

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 directions

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.
