Miyama Kayabuki-no-Sato, located in the mountains in Miyama-cho, Nantan City, about an hour and a half north of Kyoto City by car, is home to 39 thatched-roof houses, and has been designated as a nationally designated "Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings."
Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture has a similar style of house, but while the roofs in Shirakawa-go are gassho-style, Miyama's are irimoya-style, making it a rare sight in Japan.
In summer, the lush natural scenery and in winter, you can see snow-covered thatched roofs, making it a popular tourist spot, and some people visit on motorcycle tours.
