Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Tara through the tidal Ariake Sea and a castle-site viewpoint. Check transport between the stops, weather, tides and current access restrictions first.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Ouo Shrine’s Tidal Torii

大魚神社の海中鳥居

The photo shows the earlier torii at low tide in 2017. Official information records their replacement in February 2024, so today’s structures may differ. Do not follow the photograph into the tidal flats; observe from permitted areas on land and check tides, restrictions and slippery ground.

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

A first-visit stop

Takezaki Castle-Site Observatory

竹崎城址展望台

A viewpoint recreating the former castle, rather than an intact medieval castle building. Check current opening and use designated viewing areas. Take care on stairs and in strong winds; distant mountain views and seasonal flowers are not guaranteed.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Takezaki crab is officially introduced as a local swimming-crab specialty. Check preparation, reservations, current availability and prices, and disclose shellfish allergies. Size and menus are not guaranteed to remain the same all year.

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.
