Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover living traditions at Kin Kannonji and Ukka-ga spring. Respect guidance at the sacred site and waterside facilities still in use.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Main hall exterior at Kin Kannonji in December 200901

A first-visit stop

Kin Kannonji Temple

金武観音寺

A temple still serving local religious life. This December 2009 photograph shows the main hall exterior, rather than interior statues or a cave. Respect worshippers and confirm current visitor and photography areas.

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

Water at the outlets of Ukka-ga spring in June 201202

A first-visit stop

Ukka-ga spring

ウッカガー(金武大川)

A spring historically used in local daily life. This June 2012 close-up shows flowing water at its outlets. The photograph does not establish current drinking-water safety; follow on-site guidance and leave the water and equipment undisturbed.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The town tourism association features taco rice closely associated with Kin. Meat, cheese, vegetables and sauces vary by menu. Ask about current availability and allergens such as dairy and wheat.

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.
