Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kunisaki is a city in Oita with mountain temples and coastal communities. The city does not cover the entire Kunisaki peninsula. Check onward transport from Oita Airport to each temple and your return separately.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Futago-ji’s permitted entrance → a suitable worship path. Avoid forcing a stair climb; plan Monjusen-ji with separate transport.

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.
