Meet at the Kyoto Tamba Kogen Quasi-National Park Visitor Center
Welcome to Miyama!
Please proceed to the information counter inside the Kyoto Tamba Kogen Quasi-National Park Visitor Center for registration.
About 15 minutes by car from the Visitor Center.
Our staff will arrange cooking experiences, irori (hearth) experiences, agricultural experiences, and more to suit your preferences.
＼Kenji-san's Introduction／
We moved from Kyoto City to Miyama over 10 years ago and run a farmhouse inn. We've welcomed many guests from Japan and abroad. Enjoy the life in Miyama. Our dogs, cats, and chickens are excited to meet you!
Let's explore the village together. Around our home, there are fields and rice paddies, and a short walk will take us to the beautiful Yura River, popular for ayu fishing in the summer.
*Depending on the season, you can also experience harvesting in the fields or picking wild herbs.
After the walk, we'll prepare lunch with Miyama ingredients. Choose from:
Maki Sushi
Inari Sushi
Handmade Udon
Let's cook delicious meals together and learn about the local ingredients. What will we create?
It's time for the long-awaited lunch. Let's enjoy the meal we made together! During our post-meal gathering, feel free to ask about life in Miyama, agriculture, or relocation.
After lunch, take a break on the engawa (veranda) and listen to the chirping of birds and the sound of the wind rustling through the trees.
Expressing gratitude to Kenji-san for his hospitality, saying, "Please come and visit us again," almost like saying goodbye to a relative. Leaving Kenji-san's place, which feels like a second home once you've visited, marks the end of the experience.
Activity Ends *Transport to Miyama accommodations on request.
