Hi, I’m Tabi!

Joyo is a city in Kyoto Prefecture. Begin with Mito Shrine and the green paths of Konosuyama. The hero photo shows Mito Shrine in 2023, not the summit or observation deck. Check weather, slopes and current return transport.

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