Hi, I’m Tabi!

Otone is now part of Kazo. This guide covers a temple and produce roadside station within the former Otone-town area. Keep them distinct from wider Kazo destinations and arrange transport to one first.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the temple’s permitted entrance → public worship areas. Add the roadside station after checking separate transport and current arrangements.

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off
