Kyoto Mountain Retreat Harmonizing the Senses

Sonobe Castle: Built during the turbulent transition from the late Edo period to the Meiji era, it allows visitors to simultaneously sense the remnants of castle architecture and the shift toward modernity. Soba noodle making experience at the former Maki Elementary School: While feeling the warmth of the wooden schoolhouse, you can savor soba made with locally sourced buckwheat flour—freshly ground, freshly kneaded, and freshly boiled. Honey Experience: Experience pure honey born from Nantan City's abundant nature. Gain intellectual insight into the importance of protecting honeybee ecosystems and the local environment. Maki Shrine: This is an exceptionally rare and beautiful shrine where thatched roofs remain. The moment you step into the grounds, a serene atmosphere flows, as if you've slipped back in time. Ryuonji Temple: The concluding zazen experience significantly enhances the satisfaction of your journey.
