Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover a shrine and the coast in Tanabe, Wakayama, distinct from Kyotanabe in Kyoto. Check transport to each of these two stops.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Trees and buildings at Tokei Shrine, 202501

A first-visit stop

Tokei Shrine

鬪雞神社

The 2025 photograph shows trees and shrine buildings beyond a boundary fence. Visit this shrine of local traditions quietly and follow current access and photography guidance.

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

Coast near Tenjinzaki and the Motoshima torii, 200702

A first-visit stop

Motoshima Shrine’s Seaside Torii

元嶋神社の海上鳥居

A seaside torii near Tenjinzaki. This 2007 photograph shows the sea and rocky coast, not a promise of mirror-like reflections. Check tides and waves and view it from a safe place.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Nanba-yaki is a baked fish-cake specialty of Tanabe. Check product labels for ingredients and storage instructions when choosing it.

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.
