Miyama Kayabuki-no-Sato Snow Lantern Festival
Located in Kitamura, Miyama-cho, Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture, it is one of Japan's three major thatched-roof villages, alongside Shirakawa-go in Gifu and Ouchi-juku in Fukushima. Designated as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, it is the perfect spot for a slow-paced tour of the 'Forest of Kyoto.' The small village of Kitamura consists of only 50 households. Most of the houses were built in the mid-to-late Edo period, and 38 of them still use thatched roofs. The annual Miyama Kayabuki-no-Sato Snow Lantern Festival is a night illumination event held every winter. The quiet, rustic thatched roofs covered in snow, combined with the lights, create a scene straight out of a fairy tale.
A complimentary Miyama milk ice cream will be provided during the tour. ※If the store is unable to provide this product, we will replace it with Miyama milk or another similar product.
Arashiyama
A must-visit spot in Kyoto! The iconic Togetsukyo Bridge, which spans the Katsura River, is a landmark here. Additionally, the Sagano Bamboo Forest, a 100-meter-long path, feels like a paradise on earth. Sunlight filters through the trees, highlighting the lush green bamboo. The Nonomiya Shrine, famous for its 'matchmaking' powers, is hidden within. Inside the shrine, there is a 'Turtle Stone' filled with spiritual energy; legend has it that if you touch the stone while making a wish, it will come true within a year!
