Overview
Quiet hamlet of 39 thatched-roof farmhouses in a Kyoto mountain valley, still actively lived in.
A hamlet of 39 thatched-roof farmhouses in a mountain valley an hour north of Kyoto, one of Japan's best-preserved collections of kayabuki architecture. Unlike heavily touristed alternatives, Miyama remains a quiet working village where residents still maintain the traditional thatching craft. The biannual fire prevention drill fills the sky with water arcs from every rooftop.
