Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a hilltop temple and a riverside campground in Kasagi on the Kizu River. The cover shows Mount Kasagi in 2012. Check mountain-path access and campground conditions separately.

This guide covers places within Kasagi, 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

Kasagidera Temple

笠置寺

This temple connects the rocks of Mount Kasagi with religious tradition. Its photograph shows the thirteen-tier stone pagoda in June 2012, distinct from the mountain cover. Admission is charged; choose permitted paths suited to your footwear and ability on uneven terrain.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Kasagi Campground

笠置キャンプ場

This paid campground occupies the Kizu riverbank. Its operator changed in July 2025, so consult the current operator rather than old prices or rules. Check rain, rising water and entry restrictions; it is not a freely accessible public park.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

A culinary inn on Mount Kasagi introduces pheasant dishes. Ask the operator about dining without an overnight stay, reservations, menus and allergens. Seasonal dishes and historical notices do not guarantee today’s availability.
