Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Hamanoura’s coastal rice terraces and a hot-spring facility overlooking Kariya Bay in Genkai. The fields and sea change with the season and weather.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Hamanoura Rice Terraces

浜野浦の棚田

Rice fields step down a slope toward a small bay. The photograph shows flooded terraces at sunset in May 2018, rather than autumn scenery. View them from permitted observation areas, avoid disturbing farm work and keep out of the fields.

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

A first-visit stop

玄海海上温泉パレア

This day-use hot-spring facility overlooks Kariya Bay. Consider it as a rest stop after seeing the terraces. Check the facility’s current closing days, available areas and admission conditions.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Koshihikari rice grown in Hamanoura’s terraces is sold as a local product. It connects the scenery with the farming that sustains it. Check the seller’s latest information on sales periods, stock and purchase arrangements.
