Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kawane is now an area within Shimada City. The former town merged with Shimada on April 1, 2008. This guide covers places within the former Kawane boundary stored by the app, rather than Kawanehon Town or all of Shimada City.

This guide covers Shimada’s Kawane area within the former town boundary stored by the app. It does not describe an independent municipality or all of Kawanehon Town.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Kawane Onsen Roadside Station in Shimada in 201001

A first-visit stop

Kawane Onsen Roadside Station

道の駅川根温泉

A hot-spring and retail facility in today’s Kawane area of Shimada. The photo shows the exterior in 2010, not the baths. Check same-day bathing, shop and parking conditions separately; old photos do not establish current opening or train operations.

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

Ieyama Station in Shimada’s Kawane area in 201502

A first-visit stop

Ieyama Station area

家山駅周辺

A station area in former Kawane introduced by the Shimada tourism association. The photo shows the station in 2015. Follow operator guidance for entering station areas and platforms; check current train and bus timetables separately.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The Shimada tea association introduces Kawane tea. The tea-producing area name does not necessarily match the former administrative boundary; check actual origins and blends for each product. Confirm current tasting or meal service with the facility.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Tabi’s two-stop visit suggestion

Visit the two places separately. Check distances and transport on the map rather than assuming a short walk.

Check current routes and transport options on the map.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
