Keep your first walk simple

Try Kaibara station → Kinone-bashi → the shrine area. Choose street-level stops if steps are difficult and plan the roadside station separately.

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
