Hi, I’m Tabi!

Takatori is a town in Nara’s Takaichi District. Explore a mountain-castle site and a temple at Takatori Castle Ruins and Tsubosakadera. The castle photograph shows stone walls rather than a surviving keep. Check mountain paths and temple access separately.

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