Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore the wooded Sakata Castle site and Yokoshiba Station area. Traces of the former castle landscape remain; use only paths currently open to visitors.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Wooded earthwork at the Sakata Castle site in 200701

A first-visit stop

Sakata Castle site

坂田城跡

This former castle site is in the town’s northern area. The 2007 photograph shows a wooded earthwork, rather than a reconstructed castle tower. Check path conditions and access restrictions, and consult seasonal guidance for spring plum events.

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

Yokoshiba Station building in 202402

A first-visit stop

Yokoshiba Station area

JR横芝駅周辺

This station is on the JR Sobu Main Line. Its 2024 building photograph is not a castle-site entrance. Check onward and return transport in the station area, and follow railway instructions when using station facilities.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Town guidance introduces offal dishes linked to local pig farming and Oki-style sausages. Check ingredients, allergens, current sellers and opening days when choosing a meal.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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 entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
