Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover the Tama River and a former temple site in Ide, southern Kyoto. Seasonal scenery and site conditions change: check current public paths and your return journey first.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Tama River in Ide

井手の玉川

The riverbanks are known for spring cherry blossoms and yamabuki flowers. The photograph shows February 2018, before flowering. Do not expect spring flowers in autumn, and stay off the riverbed during high water or rain.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

Marker and shelter at Ideji Temple Site, November 201602

A first-visit stop

Ideji Temple Site

井手寺跡

Excavations at this former temple site uncovered roof tiles and building traces. The November 2016 photograph shows a marker and shelter. It is not an intact ancient temple: visit the public interpretation area and respect site boundaries.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Ide’s official guide introduces tofu, mackerel sushi and miso. Check fish and storage requirements for sushi, and soy ingredients in tofu and miso. Ask about current opening and stock rather than assuming a particular shop is serving them.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

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.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
