Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore the former Yakage honjin and post-town streets. Distinguish admission to heritage buildings from a walk through a living neighbourhood.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Former Yakage Honjin Ishii residence

旧矢掛本陣石井家

A residence associated with the historic post town. This March 2016 photograph shows its street exterior, rather than interior displays. Check current visiting days and permitted areas and use the designated entrance.

A first-visit stop

Yakage-juku streets

矢掛宿の町並み

Traditional buildings remain along the former Sanyo road. This street view dates from March 2016. The neighbourhood is not entirely a visitor facility: respect homes, shop access and road traffic.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The town’s brand list includes yubeshi sweets. Ingredients and texture vary by product, so check the maker’s current description and label, including rice flour, yuzu and any allergens.

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.
