Hi, I’m Tabi!

Visit the wooden architecture of Mikami Shrine and Osasahara Shrine in Yasu. This Mikami Shrine is distinct from Kyoto’s similarly named shrine. Plan exterior viewing separately from any special interior opening.

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

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
