Hi, I’m Tabi!

Oyamazaki is a town in Kyoto Prefecture. Its hillside museum and Hoshakuji offer architecture and historical scenery. Distinguish it from neighboring Shimamoto in Osaka and check slopes and return transport. Begin with one stop; this is not a whole-mountain hiking itinerary.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The town’s chamber of commerce describes its historical ties to egoma oil. Distinguish that lamp-oil history from today’s edible products; check food-use labeling, actual ingredients and availability. No health benefits are claimed.
