Hi, I’m Tabi!

Taki is a town in Mie with Niu’s temple and shrine and Gokatsura Pond. Begin with the worship area in Niu, leaving the pond for a separately planned trip.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

What could you try?

Taki’s Jiro persimmons are featured as a local specialty in official materials. Check origin labels on seasonal fruit or products; not all Jiro persimmons come from Taki, and availability varies.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Niu Daishi → adjacent Niu Shrine → return along public paths. Check each site’s guidance and keep out of private spaces. Arrange transport and current facility information separately for Gokatsura Pond.

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 current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
