Product Info

・Kyoto Miyama Kayabuki no Sato
Also known as Miyama-cho Kayabuki no Sato, this secluded village surrounded by mountain peaks is located in Nantan City, in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture. Together with Shirakawa-go in Gifu and Ouchi-juku in Fukushima, it is known as one of the three major thatched-roof village settlements in Japan and is a nationally designated Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. Currently, 39 Kitayama-style thatched-roof houses built using Miyama's unique techniques are preserved; 35 of these are private residences, and 4 are folk museums or shops. If you are lucky, you may see the century-old houses covered in snow, with roofs looking like they are coated in a layer of white icing, resembling gingerbread houses. Strolling through the snow-covered area surrounded by about 750 bamboo lanterns and flower lanterns is as romantic as a fairy tale.
