Thatch Roof Fuki-kae Experience
Miyama is home to many traditional thatch roof houses
Miyama Futon and Breakfast
The culture of thatch roofing is not unique to Japan, and this architectural style can be seen in Europe and Scandinavia as well. There is currently an international thatch roof boom. The shape varies slightly depending on the country and region.
The thatch roofs of Miyama are characterized by soft rounded curves and a beautiful and even configuration that extends to the edge. It is necessary to do a "fuki-kae" to replace the "kaya" of the roof once every 20 years. Experience the Satoyama lifestyle through the "fuki-kae" process that is filled with the wisdom and sense of beauty of people's lives.

Upon arrival we were taken for a hands on experience and challenged to make a piece of thatched roofing. Then made a delicious Japanese style dinner together with the staff. After took a bath under one of the thatched roofs was so relaxing with the smell of the pine. Sleeping on Japanese futons was fun and really enjoyed waking to the beautiful mountains outside. Great memories.

The sushi workshop was wonderful, sleeping in an antique Japanese house was great (there are too many houses with man-made materials - like plastic - in Japan) and I really liked having access to the local beers in single-serving brown glass bottles.
