Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kamogawa combines Pacific coastal scenery with inland rice fields. Begin by the station-area coast if preferred. Plan separate transport for Oyama Senmaida and choose the lookout climb to suit your pace.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

Oyama Senmaida rice terraces in July 201301

A first-visit stop

Oyama Senmaida Rice Terraces

大山千枚田

Terraced rice fields follow the hillside. The photo shows July 2013; colors change through planting and harvest. These are working fields, so use designated viewing paths without entering the paddies.

Getting there
Check separate transport from central Kamogawa to the terraces

Maebara Coast in March 201102

A first-visit stop

Maebara and Yokosuka Coast

前原・横渚海岸

A curved sandy coastline in front of the town, suited to a seaside pause. The photo dates from 2011 and does not indicate swimming operations. Keep away from the water during high waves or restrictions.

Getting there
Check the coast approach from JR Awa-Kamogawa station

03

A first-visit stop

Uomizuka Observatory

魚見塚展望台

A hillside lookout over the coast and town. Official guidance links its name with fishermen watching for offshore shoals. Choose the climb according to the weather and your ability.

Getting there
Check the approach through Uomizuka Issenba Park

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Oraga-don refers to shop-specific rice bowls featuring local ingredients, rather than one fixed recipe. Fish, meat and other toppings vary. Check current menus and prices instead of relying on older guidebook listings.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Awa-Kamogawa station → marked paths by Maebara Coast. Check weather and waves and pause in safe pedestrian areas. Save the lookout and terraces for separate outings if preferred.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
