Welcome to Kyoto, please don't miss the annual Miyama limited illumination event!

In this season, go deep into the traditional secrets of Miyama and explore the Kitayama-style houses in Miyama Town. The architecture here is traditional and beautiful. The upper part of the building is kirizumi-zukuri and the lower part is kito-zukuri. It was selected as an important traditional house in 1993. Compared to the Gassho Village in Shirakawa-go, this area has a sense of being in a fairyland away from the outside world. Looking at the whole area, the quiet and silent village and the rows of thatched houses seem to have returned to The Edo period in ancient Japan.

The scenery is even more beautiful at night when the lights are on. After the snow falls, the white snow is set off by the soft lights, presenting a beautiful picture like a dream. This unique winter charm will definitely make you linger. I hope you It’s a pleasure to experience this rare tranquility and beauty in this special season and leave behind wonderful memories!
