A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
太地町
This small coastal town faces the Kumano Sea. Explore the white lighthouse at Kandorizaki and the historic lookout at Tomyozaki for sea views and a sense of local history.
This guide covers places within Taiji, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
