A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
上北山村
Pause in riverside Kamikitayama and consider a separate hot-spring visit. The main photograph shows Kawai village scenery in 2016, rather than either the roadside facility or bath itself.
This guide covers places within Kamikitayama, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
