Hi, I’m Tabi!

Isahaya in Nagasaki offers a historic park bridge and mountain gorge. Check connections from Isahaya Station to the park and your return. Plan the gorge separately because transport and restrictions differ.

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