Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Higashidōri through Shiriyazaki Lighthouse and remnants of a sand-buried forest. Check coastal winds and permitted access routes first.

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

A first-visit stop

Sarugamori Buried Hiba Forest

猿ヶ森ヒバ埋没林

See remnants of hiba trees once buried by sand. Follow the public approach and on-site guidance. This does not imply free access to nearby dunes or training areas; stay out of restricted areas and private land.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Higashidōri soba is introduced as a local food using buckwheat grown in the village. Check each shop’s noodles, broth and toppings. A stated buckwheat proportion does not establish that other allergens are absent.

Before you set off
