Hi, I’m Tabi!

Asakura is a city in Fukuoka. Begin with Akizuki’s historic streets, gate and stone bridge rather than expecting an intact castle keep.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
