Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover Yamazoe through the dark boulders around Mount Kōno and a sheep farm. Plan nature viewing and a farm visit separately, checking opening and grazing arrangements.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Dark boulders among trees at Nabekura-kei01

A first-visit stop

Nabekura-kei

鍋倉渓

Dark boulders form a striking band on Mount Kōno’s slope. Their lava-like appearance is not a present-day lava flow. Do not treat this as a swimming spot; view it from designated paths and watch for wet rocks and uneven footing.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Mee-Mee Farm

めえめえ牧場

Observe sheep at this farm. Opening and grazing hours can differ, and closure days apply, so check current guidance. Use only feed approved on site and follow fences and staff instructions.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Yamato tea is grown in Nara’s tea-producing areas, including Yamazoe. Check the origin and tea variety when choosing a souvenir. Visits or activities at farms and tea fields may require separate permission or reservations.

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 the walking route

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.
