Hi, I’m Tabi!

This guide follows the app’s former Kamo Town area, part of Aira City since the March 23, 2010 merger. Explore two neighboring features in one precinct: Kamo Hachiman Shrine and its great camphor tree.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Kamo Hachiman Shrine building, 201801

A first-visit stop

Kamo Hachiman Shrine

蒲生八幡神社

The photograph shows the shrine building in 2018. Accounts of its founding and beliefs are presented as traditions. Follow photography and access rules and respect worshippers.

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

A first-visit stop

Great Camphor Tree of Kamo

蒲生のクス

This great camphor tree within the shrine precinct is a nationally designated Special Natural Monument. The photo dates from 2008. View it from designated areas, staying outside protective barriers and off its roots.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Aira’s official tourism information introduces early-harvest bamboo shoots grown in Kamo. Fresh shoots and processed products differ in season and preparation; ask at the shop. This does not imply harvesting experiences are currently available.

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.
