Overview

Miyama Town, where Miyama Kayabuki-no-Sato is located, is a peaceful natural town about 90 minutes by car from the city center of Kyoto. In 1993, the town was selected as a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in recognition of its well-preserved historical landscape, including buildings built using traditional techniques. The town attracts many tourists throughout the year as a place where one can encounter the original landscape of Japan. Kyoto has many famous temples, and while the area is of course fascinating, spending a day in Kyoto while enjoying the traditional Japanese scenery with your eyes will allow you to fully enjoy the time that passes by slowly. If you have come to Japan in search of healing, this is a spot you should visit at least once.
