Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kashihara in Nara brings together Imai-cho’s streets and the Fujiwara Palace Site from different eras. Distinguish it from Kashiba and check separate connections for Imai-cho near Yagi-nishiguchi Station and the palace site.

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