A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
京田辺市
In southern Kyoto Prefecture, Kyotanabe offers Ikkyu’s temple and tea-growing scenery. It is distinct from Kyotango. Begin with Ikkyuji and plan separate transport for other areas.
This guide covers places within Kyōtanabe, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.
01A first-visit stop
酬恩庵一休寺
A temple where the Zen monk Ikkyu spent his later years. The gate photo dates from 2010. Explore gardens and architecture quietly within visitor areas.
Getting there
Check access from JR Kyotanabe or Kintetsu Shintanabe station

大御堂観音寺
A temple housing a National Treasure eleven-faced Kannon statue. Explore the hall and rural setting; check statue viewing and photography rules separately. Flowers and foliage are seasonal.
Getting there
Check the approach from JR or Kintetsu Miyamaki station
03A first-visit stop
飯岡の茶畑
Hillside tea fields and settlements form a gyokuro-growing landscape. The photo dates from 2021. View from public roads without entering working fields or private land.
Getting there

02 · A LITTLE BITE
Gyokuro is a local specialty made from shade-grown tea leaves. The station-area Gyokuroan offers tea-brewing experiences; check current arrangements and ingredients. The tourism association announced rental-cycle suspension on October 10, 2026, so do not rely on older rental guidance.
