Hi, I’m Tabi!

Tenri in Nara offers burial-mound heritage and historic walking routes. These two stops are in the Yanagimoto area, separate from the Tenri Station center. Check approaches from Yanagimoto Station and your return.

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