A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
基山町
Explore Daikozen-ji’s stone steps and the southern water-gate remains of Kii Castle in Kiyama. They are separate stops. Check permitted areas and access roads instead of assuming a continuous mountain walk.
This guide covers places within Kiyama, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
大興善寺
A temple in Sonobe. The photograph shows its stone steps and azaleas in spring 2015, rather than current flowers or autumn scenery. Wear shoes suited to steep steps and check separate access conditions for the grounds, paid garden and events.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02A first-visit stop
基肄城水門跡
Drainage remains on the southern side of a seventh-century mountain fortress. The wider site also extends into Fukuoka; this stop specifically covers Kiyama’s water-gate side. There is no modern castle keep here. Do not climb the stones or enter restricted areas.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Kiyama promotes products using emu meat as a local specialty. If trying an unfamiliar meat dish, check current sellers, stock and preparation. This guide makes no nutritional or health promises; choose properly cooked food.
