Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a roadside station and Takayama Dam in this tea-growing village in southern Kyoto. Plan transport between the two stops separately and keep out of private tea fields and restricted facilities.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Michi-no-Eki Minamiyamashiro

道の駅みなみやましろ村

This roadside station introduces tea and local produce. The April 2017 photograph was taken from Tsukigaseguchi Station’s platform; it is not evidence of current access. Use the facility’s designated pedestrian entrance and watch for vehicles.

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

A first-visit stop

Takayama Dam

高山ダム

This multipurpose dam on the Nabari River has a park near its management office. The photograph dates from May 2009. Avoid the water during releases or rain and follow public-area restrictions. Do not assume that interior tours are always available.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Look for mura-cha, tea grown in the village. Check origin and ingredient labels on tea and matcha sweets, along with the day’s menu. Tea fields are working farms: photography and experiences require permission and any necessary booking.

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.
