Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit two shrines in Byobu, Miyake Town, Nara. Distinguish them from similarly named shrines and places elsewhere.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Shrine building at Byobu Kizuki Shrine, Miyake, in February 201201

A first-visit stop

Byobu Kizuki Shrine

屏風杵築神社

A shrine beside the Taishi route, distinct from the similarly named shrine in Tomondo. The February 2012 photograph shows a shrine building, not exhibits or current rituals. Follow worship and photography rules and keep residential access clear.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Hakusan Shrine in Byobu

屏風の白山神社

A small shrine across the Taishi route from Kizuki Shrine. Stories about a stone where Prince Shotoku rested are traditions. Watch traffic when crossing and leave stone features untouched. Its panel is decorative because no qualifying site photograph was verified.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

A 2025 town article introduces Otagai-san’s bento participation at the MiiMo cafeteria. This does not establish today’s vendors or menu. Check opening days, reservations and egg, wheat, soy or other ingredients before visiting.

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 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.
