Hi, I’m Tabi!

Yura combines pale limestone shores with an old temple. Take in the coast at Shirasaki, then visit Kokokuji to explore local history and brewing traditions.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
