Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore Sai through pale coastal cliffs and a cultural hub at the harbour. Choose a coast visit or time around the port according to the weather and access conditions.

This guide covers places within Sai, 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

Hotokegaura

仏ヶ浦

The 2011 photograph shows the coast from the Route 338 side. Boat trips may be cancelled or unable to land because of sea conditions or the season. The land route is steep, closed in snow, and subject to wildlife hazards; check with operators and local guidance before choosing access.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Tsugaru Strait Cultural Hall Arusasu

津軽海峡文化館アルサス

A tourism, cultural and shopping hub at Sai harbour. Individual tenants and exhibitions may have different arrangements. Check same-day sailings and return transport before a boat trip, and stay out of port work areas.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Sai’s sea-urchin bowls are mainly introduced as spring-to-summer offerings. Do not assume fresh sea urchin is always available in autumn or winter. Ask about catches, origin, alternative dishes and allergens.

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.
