Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore a stream and summer somen traditions in Kihoku, Ehime, distinct from Kihoku in Mie. Check seasonal operation and mountain-road conditions.

This guide covers places within Kihoku, 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

Narukawa Gorge

成川渓谷

A gorge of rocks and clear flowing water, photographed in October 2022. Stay out of the stream in high water or slippery conditions and follow designated paths.

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

02

A first-visit stop

Yasumorido Fureai no Sato

安森洞ふれあいの里

A summer activity site associated with cave spring water in Komatsu. Somen and activities operate seasonally; confirm opening and access before an off-season visit.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Yasumorido’s flowing-somen attraction uses cool cave spring water in summer. Do not assume it is currently operating; check that year’s schedule.

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.
