Hi, I’m Tabi!

Mihama in Fukui’s Wakasa region offers coastal scenery and castle-site history, distinct from similarly named towns in other prefectures. Start at one beach or museum.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Sand and rocky outcrop at Suishohama in winter01

A first-visit stop

Suishohama Beach

水晶浜

A shore of sand and rocky outcrops. The photo shows winter scenery, not a promise of summer conditions. Do not swim outside designated periods and hours; follow the town’s beach camping and barbecue bans and local restrictions.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Wakasa Kuniyoshi Castle History Museum

若狭国吉城歴史資料館

A museum introducing Kuniyoshi Castle and Sakaki’s history. Check exhibitions and admission; visiting the museum is different from climbing to the castle site.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Heshiko is a local food made by curing fish such as mackerel with salt and rice bran. Check product ingredients, serving instructions, storage conditions and fish allergies. Follow the package’s preparation guidance.

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. Choose your departure point on the map.

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.
