Pickup points and meeting tips
- Izumi-Chuo Station on the Semboku Rapid Railway has a shopping complex and is the most convenient meeting point.
- JR Shinodayama Station is the nearest stop for the Kuboso Memorial Museum.
- For the Ikegami-Sone site, meet at the museum entrance car park.
- Pilgrims heading to Sefuku-ji should agree the lower car park as the meeting point.
Vehicle access
New-town areas have wide roads suitable for coaches. Attractions are spread out, so allow drive time between them. The road up to Sefuku-ji is a mountain route where smaller vehicles are more appropriate.
Check exact district and coach parking for dispersed attractions.
Luggage
Day trips need little luggage; pilgrims carrying walking gear should mention it so we can plan space.
