Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit Uegusuku Castle ruins and Tatami-ishi on O Island separately. Check winds at the hilltop and tide conditions on the coast.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Stonework and steps at Uegusuku Castle ruins in April 202601

A first-visit stop

Uegusuku Castle ruins

宇江城城跡

A hilltop castle site with surviving stonework, shown in April 2026 rather than as a complete castle building. Check current access, steps and wind conditions and do not climb onto the walls.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Tatami-ishi, O Island

奥武島の畳石

A shoreline of rock with polygonal patterns. This section uses a decorative panel rather than a location photograph. Check tides, waves and local access guidance and avoid approaching wet rocks.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association lists direct sales of Kumejima kuruma prawns. Seasons and stock differ for live and frozen products. Ask the seller about crustacean allergens, storage and preparation.

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.
