Hi, I’m Tabi!

Kawakami is a village in Nara’s Yoshino District, distinct from its namesake in Nagano. Learn about forests, water and local nature at Mori to Mizu no Genryukan or Seirei Falls. Check facility and path access separately.

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

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Seirei Falls

蜻蛉の滝

A waterfall introduced along paths around Akitsuno Ono Park. A decorative name panel is used because an appropriate actual photograph with verified rights was unavailable. Check weather, path and stair conditions and access restrictions.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Past official village guidance documents making kakinoha-zushi, sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves. Check actual fish, ingredients and current sales. The 2021 event is not presented as an experience currently available for booking.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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.
