Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit a suspension bridge and a temple in Torisumi. Check access and mountain-road restrictions separately for each stop.

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

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Kurotaki Suspension Bridge

黒滝吊橋

A suspension bridge at Mori Monogatari Mura in Awaidani, photographed from its deck in May 2019. Crossing is optional if height or movement makes you uncomfortable. Check wind, rain and maintenance closures; do not run or lean on the rails.

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

A first-visit stop

Hokaku-ji Temple

鳳閣寺

A mountain temple in Torisumi whose associated cultural properties are listed by the village. The June 2014 photograph shows a building exterior, not statues or exhibits. Check roads and visiting access, and treat religious traditions as traditions rather than medical or historical proof.

Getting there

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Village specialties include handmade Kurotaki konjac and hesomochi, a mugwort rice cake with sweet bean filling. Check broths, seasonings and allergens; availability and opening days differ by shop.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Check directions

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.
