Hi, I’m Tabi!

Wazuka is a tea-producing town in Kyoto Prefecture. Explore contrasting scenery at Ishidera’s tea fields and a riverside rock Buddha. The fields are working agricultural spaces: use public paths. Check current access and return transport for each destination.

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