Local historyFirst-visit planCheck transport

Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a Yayoi-period settlement site and an old shrine in Tawaramoto, in the Nara Basin.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Reconstructed tower at Karako-Kagi, 202101

A first-visit stop

Karako-Kagi Archaeological Park

唐古・鍵遺跡史跡公園

A reconstructed tower based on a drawing on excavated pottery marks the site. The 2021 photograph shows this reconstruction, rather than an original ancient building. Check current park and event guidance.

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

Worship hall exterior at O Shrine, 201102

A first-visit stop

O Shrine

多神社

Read the official account of the O clan and O no Yasumaro. The 2011 photograph shows the worship hall exterior, not the main sanctuary interior. Visit quietly and follow access guidance.

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.
