Hi, I’m Tabi!

The former city of Maebaru became part of Itoshima in the 2010 merger. This guide visits a temple and museum within the former area; check transport between the two separately.

This guide covers the former Maebaru GID within today’s Itoshima City; it does not extend to the Nijo or Shima areas.

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.
