Miyama Kayabuki no Sato | A Fairytale Journey into Kyoto's Countryside

We visited Miyama Kayabuki no Sato, a village where the traditional, nostalgic landscape of Japan remains beautifully preserved. Many rare, historic thatched-roof houses have been carefully maintained here, and the local residents continue to protect this breathtaking scenery to this day. Located just a 90-minute drive from central Kyoto, it’s the perfect destination for a day trip.
