Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kyotamba is a town on the Tamba plateau in central Kyoto Prefecture, distinct from central Kyoto City. The Mizuho complex and Ichimori waterfall are separate destinations. Check onward buses from Sonobe Station and return transport for each stop.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Begin in the complex’s public rest areas. Follow facility guidance around sports grounds; arrange transport and check trail conditions separately for the waterfall.

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.
