Today we’re heading to Kayabuki No Sato, located in Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture , known as one of Japan’s Four Great Thatched Cottages. We’ll take the JR Sagano Line from Kyoto (Nijo) to Sonobe Station, then transfer to the San’in Line to Hiyoshi Station. From there, we’ll take the Miyama-cho Route Bus Miyama-Sonobe Line to Kita (Kita) Station. This is the complete transfer route. We’re currently at Kameoka Station, having just left. We’re now on the Sagano Line heading to Sonobe Station. Hello, everyone, welcome. I’m Xiaoyu at the hiking office. Today we’re heading to Kayabuki No Sato , one of Japan’s four oldest villages , and on par with the famous Gassho-style villages. It’s an ancient village made of straw. We’re currently at JR Sonobe Station. We just took the JR Sagano Line from Kyoto to Sonobe Station. We’re now transferring from Sonobe Station to the San’in Line to Hiyoshi , and then from Hiyoshi to the Nantan bus to Kayabuki No Sato. We’re about to transfer to the San’in Line. We’re taking the 10:46 San’in Line bound for Koma , bound for Hiyoshi Station. Here’s “Mori no Kyoto,” an introduction to some nearby attractions at the JR station. Right in the middle is “Kayabuki No Sato ,” the San’in Line bound for Koma. We can get on board now, and we’re the only ones in the entire carriage . We’ve now arrived at the JR We ‘ll be visiting the Miyama – no – sato area , a miniature gassho – style village in Kyoto . It actually takes an hour to get here from Hiyoshi Station. From here you can see the famous red mailbox in the distance. Let’s go to the restaurant next to it for a meal. The weather is not very good today. It is raining heavily . It’s a pity. Let’s go to the restaurant immediately. Let’s replenish our food first. It will be here after getting off the bus. Just walk straight and you will arrive. This is our lunch – fried pork cutlet set meal 1000 yen , and tendon 950 yen. We just finished our meal at the restaurant on the first parking lot here. We are now by the river surrounded by mountains and water. We are about to start our tour of Kayabuki No Sato . The rain has stopped now, so let’s talk about how we will visit Kayabuki No Sato , which is known as the Kyoto version of the Gassho-style village, one of the four major ancient villages in Japan. You can see this road next to the stream below. It is the waterfront trail here. There is a restaurant here. We should have just finished our meal nearby . We are now in the first parking lot. As I said, there is a waterfront trail here. We will go from here. We plan to go to the path next to the restaurant first and then cross it. Next, we will start walking along the Satoyama Strolling Path . Walk along the Path, then go to the observatory . Then we will turn around and pass by the 400-year-old giant tree and go to Inari Shrine. We just rained, so we are not sure about the road conditions yet. We will adjust the route accordingly. For now, we will leave the Strolling Path from Inari Shrine and go to Soto Zen Fumyoji Temple. Then we will come back and visit the Miyama Folk Museum and its art museum in order . Then we will go to Kamakura Shrine and walk along its “Yasuragi” Then walk… walk… walk down and then, depending on the situation , decide whether to go to Chii Hachiman Shrine. Finally, we’ll go through the famous road signs, Jizo , and its most famous mailbox along the Mackerel Street. Then, we’ll go back to the bus stop. We’ll set off now. We ‘ve already crossed the road. We’ll turn left from the path here and go into the red mailbox in the distance. We’ll go there later. It’s a famous check-in spot. We’ll walk along this road for about 3 minutes and there’s a fork in the road. We’ll reach the bottom of the road, at the bottom of the field path, and we’ll see a sign that says Satoyama San We’ll start walking from here at the entrance to the Strolling Path. The trail is a bit primitive at the beginning , but after reaching the official trailhead, the road will not be so overgrown, so don’t worry. It’s raining today, so the road condition is a bit bad. I was suddenly surprised by the scale of the map and thought the trail was quite long, but it’s actually only 370 meters in total, which is very short. So we are now at the entrance to the Strolling Path. We will first walk 90 meters to the observation deck, then come back and walk another 140 meters to the entrance of Inari Shrine. We ‘ll see whether we should leave from here and go to Fuming Temple or take this trail directly to Fuming Temple. We’ll go in right away. Remember to close the gate to prevent animals from entering and exiting here, so we have to set up this iron fence and gate. We will go up a small path here and reach the observation point . Most tourists don’t take this Strolling Path, so the trail is a little poorly maintained , but I still recommend everyone to take a walk and see this unique route. After climbing 10 meters, this is the observation deck. Although it is blocked by a few trees , you can still see the Thatched House Village, a nationally important traditional building complex. You can see that it is a settlement surrounded by mountains. It was designated a national preservation area in 1993. Now we leave the observation deck and walk 120 meters to reach the entrance of Inari Shrine. We have arrived at the entrance of Inari Shrine. Now we will take a look at its Inari Shrine and the 400-year-old sacred tree. We have arrived at Inari Shrine and we will see its torii gate. We enter through the torii gate. It is designated as a national cultural property of Nantan City. This tree is 25 meters tall and 510 centimeters in circumference. It is a 400-year-old sacred tree that has existed since the Edo period. We finally decided that we would go directly to Soto from this road . Soto Zen Pomyoji Temple Soto Zen Pomyoji Temple So now we leave the Inari Shrine and the 400-year-old giant tree and head towards Soto Zen Pomyoji Temple. At the fork in the road ahead , we turn left in the direction of Pomyoji Temple. Arriving at Pomyoji Temple, we are now leaving Soto Zen Pomyoji Temple and heading to the Miyama Folk Museum. It is right here , just below. Let’s go and see it right away. Inside the Miyama Folk Museum, you can not only learn about the traditional livelihood and agricultural development and cultural history of the Miyama area from the past to the present , but also learn about the prosperity and decline of this village from the Meiji era to the present. It is quite worth a visit, but you need a ticket . After going down the fork in the road here, take the left and you will arrive at the Miyama Folk Museum . The business hours of the Miyama Folk Museum are from April to November: 9:00~17:00 December to March: 10:00-16:00. Admission is 300 yen for adults, free for junior high school students and younger. The Miyama Folk Museum was originally a late Edo period building 200 years ago. A fire in 2000 destroyed the original museum, and the current one was rebuilt in 2002. Let’s take a look. This is the living room. It’s quite nice, with such an antique style. There is also a garden. Outside the living room is the garden. This should be a place for bathing. Here are displayed the clothes worn by the villagers in the past , as well as the utensils they used, including mirrors , pots and pans … and even some small daily necessities. If you really come to Kayabuki No Sato, you must come here to learn more about the local culture and history. Including here, we can see its living room. It also has things like kettles and old lanterns and candlesticks . Let’s continue to look. We can glimpse the garden scenery here by passing through the corridor in the middle. Here, it mainly displays some farming tools. Here you can see that in addition to knives, there are also some utensils on display. Tools, their shoes, their boots , and some other things, such as this straw hat, abacus… Daily utensils can be seen here, the seats, lanterns, clothes of some gods worshipped at home … Let’s go upstairs to the second floor. This is the first area on the second floor. There is another area just over there. This area on the second floor mainly displays some cultural relics and scrolls of some ancient historical books. Because now, in fact, the same thatched houses can be seen in places like northern Kyoto and Shiga Prefecture, but due to the changes of the times , the number of thatched houses is rapidly decreasing. There used to be more than 1,700 thatched houses in Miyama Town, but now there are less than 150 left. Let’s go downstairs and return to the living room just now. There are some old farming tools on display here . Let’s come over here to see the large farming tools in the warehouse. In the past , when there were no machines in the era of my grandma and grandpa, of course, they used simple handmade tools. All these tools are here. It is really nostalgic. This place reflects the simple rural life of Japan. The old toilets Toilet Now we are heading to the second floor. We have reached the top of the thatched house. Their construction technology in the past was very advanced. This weaving technology is now completely handed over to thatched house craftsmen. It is different from Shirakawa-go where dozens or even hundreds of people climb up the roof to replace the thatch , or as in the past, relatives and family members are mobilized to help. The top of the thatched roof, also called the attic , displays some utensils and supplies. There are also shoes woven with bamboo and straw. There are souvenirs on display at the entrance. After leaving the Folklore Museum, we set off for Kamakura Shrine. There is a guesthouse here where you can stay overnight. Unfortunately, it rained again. There is also a cafe here that is crowded. It is a cafe where you can drink coffee and light meals. Next, we continue to follow the signs to Kamakura Shrine Chii Hachiman Shrine. We are heading towards the direction of the shrine. We are now turning left here to head towards Kamakura Shrine. These thatched houses were built about 150 to 200 years ago. Of the 50 households in Kitamura , 39 are thatched houses. Located on a gentle slope, these thatched houses are all built in the same direction. The rain is getting heavier on the approach to Hachiman Shrine . It ‘s really not God’s will . As a result, we got lost in the rain. Due to time constraints, we will not go to Kamakura Shrine. We also got lost a little just now, so we will do the same. After coming this way, we will go down from here and go directly to Hachiman Shrine. We will go up to the top of Hachiman Shrine. This thatched house village, Kayabuki No Sato, has different beautiful scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Autumn is the best season to visit Kayabuki No Sato, because the mountains and valleys are full of maple leaves , many rice fields are bearing golden rice ears, and fruits such as persimmons and apples are ripe. In winter, it is similar to Gassho Village. Overlooking the snow-white, dreamy and elegant scenery, we officially entered the main shrine of Hachiman Shrine and arrived at the Kyoto Prefecture’s designated cultural property. The main shrine of Hachiman Shrine was built in the Edo period. The entire shrine area is also listed as a designated cultural property of Japan. We are now leaving Hachiman Shrine and will head to its most famous red mailbox. We are now leaving Hachiman Shrine . The street we are walking on is Mackerel Street. The wind blows past, and the straw is swaying . Black kites are soaring in the sky. After arriving here, we will come to the intersection where we just came from the bus stop. Turn in from this intersection and you will see the very famous red mailbox. The red mailbox matches the straw house in this straw village. A beautiful view of the mountain village with a forest behind it. In front of the mailbox is the Jizo stone statue. There are beautiful hydrangeas here , with purple, blue , yellow , and white . The rural scenery is very beautiful. We came to the famous check-in spot mailbox and then went to the six Jizo stones. Compared with some other attractions in Kyoto, this one is located in the suburbs , but it is really worth visiting. Or you can drive yourself. It is also a good way to save a lot of commuting time. The six Jizo stones are like this. Today’s journey to the beautiful mountain village, also known as the straw village, comes to an end. Today we will take the Sagano Line from Nijo to Sonobe Transfer to the Sanin Line and then to JR Hiyoshi Station. Take the Nantan City Bus from there and get off at the “Kita” stop to arrive at Kayabuki No Sato . Kayabuki No Sato is known as one of Japan’s four ancient villages, on par with Gassho-style villages. 39 out of 50 households in Kita-mura have straw walls . The entire structure of the house makes you feel like you’ve been transported back to the Edo period. Their streets, including today, are considered quite rural, so commuting might be a little troublesome if you don’t rent a car, but it’s still highly recommended because it’s still in Kyoto Prefecture. If you want to avoid the crowds in the city, come here. If you want to experience the tranquil and unsophisticated beauty of traditional Japanese countryside , you’re welcome to visit this beautiful mountain village. We also recommend that you visit temples like Inari Shrine, Hachiman Shrine, and Kamakura Shrine. Besides visiting these temples , you can also visit the Folklore Museum, which tells a lot about culture and history. That’s the end of our video today.
