Hi, I’m Tabi!

Yosano in northern Kyoto offers silk-weaving history and old trading streets. Explore Chirimen Street and the Bito house within the same Kaya street district. Check visitor information by the former Kaya town office and buses and return connections for your destination.

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