Hi, I’m Tabi!

Muko is a city in Kyoto Prefecture, distinct from Kyoto City. Choose the shrine or bamboo path in the Muko hills. The hero photo shows Muko Shrine, not the bamboo path. Check current access and return transport for each destination.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

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.
