Pickup points and meeting tips
- JR Nagaokakyo Station and Hankyu Nagaoka-Tenjin Station are the two main references.

- Komyo-ji is in the western hills; groups walk the maple-lined approach from nearby parking.
- Yanagidani Kannon (Yokoku-ji) is further into the hills; confirm vehicle access.
Vehicle access
Main roads take all sizes, but hill temples have narrower approaches. Busy shrine events and autumn weekends at Komyo-ji affect vehicle access.
