A little travel guide with Tabi

Find a view and a small meal.
湯前町
Visit the wooden terminus of the Kumagawa Railway and a historic Buddhist hall. Begin around the station and check separate transport to the temple and your return journey.
This guide covers places within Yunomae, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
