A living thatched-roof village through four seasons
Fresh green and rice fields fill the warm months; late January and early February may bring snow and lantern events.
Tourism source ↗A lived-in mountain village north of Kyoto City where 39 traditional thatched farmhouses cluster beneath forested slopes. Seasonal green fields, autumn colour and winter snow create very different views, while residents’ privacy must be respected.
