Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a hillside temple and a village shrine in Aisho, Shiga. Plan transport between the separate stops and distinguish the shrine from its namesake in a neighbouring city.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple
