Hi, I’m Tabi!

This guide covers Shōnai Town rather than the wider Shonai region. Explore exchange and trade at Kiyokawa’s reconstructed checkpoint and a converted rice warehouse in Amarume.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
