Hi, I’m Tabi!

This is Hirogawa in Wakayama. Follow the story of Inamura-no-Hi and the town’s disaster-prevention heritage at its museum and Hiro Hachimangu Shrine.

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

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.
