Experience a fascinating village comprised of thatched-roof houses

There are many kayabuki thatched roof houses in Miyama Town: 38 out of the 50 houses in the community of Kita in Chii district, have traditional thatched roofs. There is widespread admiration for the dedication of Miyama Town to preserve these historical neighborhoods including a group of buildings made by traditional techniques. In December 1993, Miyama Town was designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.
