A little travel guide with Tabi
Start slowly, with one place.
Find a view and a small meal.
矢祭町
Enjoy the Kuji River and Mount Yamatsuri scenery, and assess Takigawa Gorge separately for your equipment and weather. The entire gorge should not be treated as a casual stroll.
This guide covers places within Yamatsuri, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
01 · EXPLORE
Two different places: start with whichever interests you.
01A first-visit stop
矢祭山公園
A place to view the Kuji River and rocky hills. The September 2012 photograph was taken across the river and does not establish current trail conditions. Check access and footing and choose a short section.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
A first-visit stop
滝川渓谷
A gorge route linking waterfalls. The town warns about slippery leaves and wet rocks, chain sections and fall accidents. Do not continue without suitable hiking preparation, and stay out during closures or in restricted sections.
Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.
02 · A LITTLE BITE
Consider juwari soba at Takigawa no Sato, described officially as made without a binder. Check seasonal operation and closing days, and enquire about separate access rather than assuming you must hike the gorge to dine.
Official guide03 · YOUR FIRST WALK
Choose a short, currently open path around Mount Yamatsuri. Assess Takigawa Gorge as a separate hike, leaving chain sections and closed areas out of a casual walk.
