A trip to Miyama is like a journey back in time. Stepping into Kayabuki no Sato Village, you'll be enveloped in tranquility and nature. Each house has retained its original style. Adventurous travelers can hike small trails around the village, hike for bird's-eye views, or cycle along narrow roads through rice paddies and crystal-clear streams, which are lush and picturesque in the summer.
Another must-do activity is experiencing traditional crafts like tofu making, indigo dyeing, or learning how to build traditional straw houses from real villagers. The charm lies in the hands-on experience, the aroma of the old wood, and the stories of the locals, creating a deep connection to the place.
Miyama may lack shopping malls, skyscrapers, or advanced technology, but it's brimming with a truly authentic Japanese spirit that's hard to find. For adventurous travelers seeking tranquility, simplicity, and a new kind of adventure, this is the true answer to "off-the-beaten-path Japan," a journey you'll never forget.
