美山茅葺之里 - 茅葺屋職人體驗

專家星評

靜謐的深山小村莊。
每一次的造訪、都讓人心曠神怡。
可以從京都搭車來唷～

特色建築在於木造房屋上方的屋頂：茅葺屋
牆身和門窗均以木板製造，完全不用釘或任何金屬物，以粗草繩來構造建築房屋。
斜坡屋頂讓冬雪容易滑落外，茅草屋頂上還用神社才會使用的構造「千木」與「雪割」。避免雪累積在屋頂上。

美山町的茅葺之里為北山型民家，
建築樣式：混合上半為切妻造、下部為寄棟造的入母屋造。
能夠日本冬季豪雪，並保有京都建築纖細美學。

鄉村風光，非常的純樸，沒有商業行為的地方。
這裡均是民宅，帶給人更多純樸靜謐感，也更可以想像以前的人們住在這種深山幽谷，與世隔絕的生活。
與白川鄉合掌村、大內宿的感受不同。

☆一年四季風光：
春天微風暖意，生意盎然
夏天滿山綠意，稻米發芽
秋天涼風吹拂，滿遍稻穗
冬天片雪花飄，雪白靜謐

☆村莊裡面內也有幾家咖啡廳和小餐館唷
カフェ美卵

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.

Making of thatched roof is unique!

It felt cozy and was great to talk as a group! The bath area was comfortable and great to relax.

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.
