Hi, I’m Tabi!

In Yusui, view the clear spring waters of Maruike and Takenaka ponds from the surrounding paths. They are in separate districts, so check driving routes or current bus connections before visiting both.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Clear water at Maruike Pond in Yusui in April 201101

A first-visit stop

Maruike Spring Pond

丸池湧水

This spring-fed pond in the Kurino district also supplies local household water. The photograph dates from April 2011. Keep out of the water, avoid contamination and view it from designated paths.

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

Takenaka Pond and its surrounding path in November 201202

A first-visit stop

Takenaka Pond Park

竹中池公園

Explore the scenery around this spring-fed pond. The photograph is from November 2012 and does not indicate that the seasonal swimming pool is currently open. Do not plan an October visit around swimming; check each facility’s current arrangements.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for locally grown Yusui rice and rice-based products, checking origin and stock with sellers. Clear-looking pond water should not be treated as drinking water unless local signs explicitly permit it.

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.
