Experience Life in Rural Japan
The Miyama Thatched Village is a collection of 39 Japanese “kayabuki” thatched-roof folk homes designated as a “Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.” Today, around 100 residents live in the village, practicingan ancient way of life. The thatching techniques of kayabuki craftspeople are a registered UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and if you’re lucky, your visit may coincide with a roof rethatching!
Within the Miyama Thatched Village are two traditional accommodation facilities, allowing guests to enjoy a blissful night in one of these cosy homesteads.
