Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit the sacred grounds at Mihoso-jo and a separate beach stop. Check island transport, the return sailing and local access guidance first.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Trees, stones and an explanatory marker at Mihoso-jo in November 202201

A first-visit stop

Mihoso-jo

みほそ所

Sacred grounds traditionally associated with King Shō En’s birthplace. This November 2022 photograph shows trees, stones and an explanatory marker, rather than a royal statue. Leave stones and offerings untouched and keep to permitted paths.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Izena Beach

伊是名ビーチ

A white-sand beach facing the sea. This section uses a decorative panel rather than a location photograph. The official guide describes the beach as unmanaged. Check local swimming guidance, weather and currents before considering entering the water.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association features mozuku soba at an island restaurant. Ingredients and stock vary even in dishes using mozuku seaweed. Check serving days and ingredients such as wheat, eggs and fish stock.

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.
