Hi, I’m Tabi!

Odai is a Mie town spanning the Miyagawa River and forested country. Choose the roadside station near Misedani or the Tochihara shrine first. Plan their separate approaches from JR Kisei Line Misedani and Tochihara stations; distant mountain valleys are separate outings.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the pedestrian entrance → local-products shop. Use safe walking areas around roads and parking; plan the shrine separately.

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.
