Hi, I’m Tabi!

Look across the strait from northern Honshu. Benten Island is a view from Cape Oma, not a walking destination offshore.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Benten Island and Omasaki Lighthouse

弁天島と大間埼灯台

From shore, look towards the island and its striped lighthouse. The photo dates to 2012; this is not a route onto the island or an interior lighthouse visit.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Tuna landed in Oma is a local speciality. Ask restaurants about its origin and daily availability.

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.
