Time to relax in a thatched-roof inn in Miyama, Kyoto...
How to enjoy staying in an old private house
Kayabuki roofs are very well-ventilated and the natural cool breeze makes your stay comfortable, especially during summer. The thick thatched roof absorbs the sound of rain, making the entire house very quiet on rainy days. Make your own meals using fully equipped kitchen and enjoy your stay in the traditional kayabuki house as if you were living.
Experience living in the thatched roof house
In the Miyama FUTON&Breakfast Main, there is an attic room with a view of the back of the thatched roof. The attic room has so wide space so you can lay out your futon here at night and talk with your family and friends over a good night’s sleep.
Enjoy chatting & relaxing time with your friends around the hearth
Gather with old friends for a local chicken sukiyaki party. Or, you can enjoy sweetfish from the nearby river grilled on the sunken hearth. You may use here as a special place to stay for your relatives coming from far away on your anniversary, or to entertain your friends from abroad in the historical thatched roof house.
