Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover a temple and a limestone cave in Tenkawa’s Dorogawa district. Plan mountain travel around current access and opening information.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Front of Ryusenji main hall in Dorogawa, 201701

A first-visit stop

Omine-san Ryusenji Temple

大峯山龍泉寺

This Dorogawa temple is closely linked to mountain ascetics. Its founding story about a spring is a tradition. The photograph shows the main hall in 2017; follow visitor guidance during ceremonies.

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

Slope car serving Menfudo Cave, 202302

A first-visit stop

Menfudo Limestone Cave

面不動鍾乳洞

Explore formations inside the limestone cave. The 2023 photograph shows the hillside slope car, rather than the cave interior. Check cave opening and car service separately, and watch your footing.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The prefecture’s official guide features tofu made with Dorogawa’s spring water. Check sales and meal service with individual shops, and ask about ingredients such as soy.

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.
