Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a shrine in Yuzaki and a moat-ringed burial mound in Kawanishi, Nara. This is distinct from Kawanishi City in Hyogo.

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

What could you try?

Yuzaki Nebuka is a traditional local green onion. Accounts of it falling from the sky are legends. Check seasonal availability and preparation, including wheat, soy, fish or meat in broths and seasonings.
