Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore different periods of history at Hagi Castle ruins and Shokasonjuku. Older photographs do not confirm current facilities or interior access.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for sweets, juice or marmalade made with Hagi’s natsumikan citrus. Harvest and processed-product seasons differ; check current availability and ingredients.

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.
