▼Enjoy the Quiet Beauty of Kyoto’s Countryside: Fukuchiyama and Ayabe in Kyoto Prefecture
[ Ссылка ]

Located in the mountainous northern part of Kyoto Prefecture, Fukuchiyama and Ayabe are a world away from the tight, urban quarters of central Kyoto. Board an express train from Kyoto Station, and in less than 80 minutes you’ll be transported to these spacious and tranquil countryside cities.

Fukuchiyama is an old town that grew around Fukuchiyama Castle, and is home to well-maintained traditional buildings and a majestic Shinto shrine that is among Japan’s oldest. The neighboring town of Ayabe developed as a producer of silk, and today the rural landscape dotted with the high-peaked roofs of country homes offers numerous trekking routes and views of scenic temples.
