Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover coastal wind turbines and the earthworks of an old battery. View the working power facilities from permitted public paths.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Wind turbines near Matsugami, 201401

A first-visit stop

Hojo Sand Dunes Wind Farm Area

北条砂丘風力発電所周辺

The photograph shows turbines near Matsugami in 2014. This is not a tour inside the power facilities. Stay clear of maintenance areas and follow current access notices.

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

Grass-covered earthworks at Yura Battery Ruins, 201402

A first-visit stop

Yura Battery Ruins

由良台場跡

An earthwork battery built for coastal defence near the end of the Edo period. The 2014 image shows grass-covered banks, not a castle or surviving gun emplacement. Explore without damaging the landform.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Daiei watermelon is a signature local product. Check the harvest and selling season, and look for origin labels.

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.
