Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore opening-of-the-port history at Ryosen-ji and Perry Road in Shimoda. Check the temple’s visitor guidance and current street access and business arrangements.

This guide covers places within Shimoda, 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

Ryosen-ji

了仙寺

This temple is associated with the 1854 Shimoda agreement supplementing the Treaty of Peace and Amity. The photograph shows its main hall in 2021. Check current guidance separately for worship and exhibition facilities.

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

Riverside townscape along Perry Road in 201302

A first-visit stop

Perry Road

ペリーロード

Follow the riverside street in Sanchome to explore the old townscape. The photograph dates from 2013 and does not establish current shop openings or access. Respect the street as a place where people live.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The official tourism guide lists restaurants serving kinmedai. Ask about preparation, prices and the day’s menu and ingredients; do not assume every fish is sourced from Shimoda.
