Hi, I’m Tabi!

Heguri is a town in Nara’s Ikoma District. Explore religious traditions at Shigisan Chogosonshiji and regional produce at Yamatoji Heguri Roadside Station. A shared mountain name does not make it the same administrative area as neighboring Sango. Check access separately.

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

A first-visit stop

Yamatoji Heguri Roadside Station

道の駅大和路へぐり くまがしステーション

A roadside station whose operator documents produce sales and dining. Its exterior is shown in 2008, rather than proving present operations or stock. Check current facilities, restaurant and seasonal-product guidance.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The roadside-station operator and transport ministry feature local vegetables and products using Kotoka strawberries. Check actual origins, recipes, current sales and booking requirements. Seasonal products are not assumed to be available year-round, nor all strawberries to be Heguri-grown.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

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.
