Fukuchiyama, Ayabe Travel Guide

An area combining Fukuchiyama, where the atmosphere of a castle town lingers around Fukuchiyama Castle associated with Akechi Mitsuhide, and Ayabe, surrounded by mountains and farmland. In Ayabe, the Gunze Museum and other sites trace the region's modern industrial history, while satoyama scenery remains on the outskirts — a place to travel slowly and take in the history and daily life of northern Kyoto Prefecture.
