Area & City/Town Introduction (Nantan City)

Located nearly in the center of Kyoto Prefecture, Nantan City is a town brimming with rich natural beauty, history, and culture. Visitors can enjoy beautiful scenery throughout the four seasons, from the thatched-roof villages of Miyama Town—where Japan’s traditional landscape remains preserved—to Sonobe, which retains the atmosphere of a castle town, and the lush rural mountains stretching along the headwaters of the Hozu River. It also offers a wealth of attractions, including gourmet cuisine featuring local ingredients, hot springs, and outdoor activities. Easily accessible from Kyoto City, it is a soothing destination where you can spend a relaxing day even on a day trip.
