Hi, I’m Tabi!

Fukuchiyama is a northern Kyoto Prefecture city of castle history and old shopping streets. Check access from Fukuchiyama station and return transport; this is a separate city from Kyoto.

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