Miyama Town, home to Miyama Kayabuki-no-Sato, is a serene natural area located about 90 minutes by car from central Kyoto. In 1993, it was designated as a national Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings due to its well-maintained historical scenery, including structures built with traditional methods. The town draws numerous visitors year-round, offering a glimpse into Japan’s original landscape.
