Miyama’s Kayabuki no Sato is a hamlet of nearly 40 thatched farmhouses in the hills north of Kyoto, and people still live in them. Snow suits it as well as summer green. Day trips pair it with Amanohashidate on the coast, or with Katsuo-ji and Arashiyama.
See Amanohashidate, Ine’s sea-facing boathouses and Miyama’s thatched homes in one long day trip from Osaka or Kyoto.
