Roger's Pictures
16-26 July 2025
A variety of things seen in between ikebana
class, Gion Festival events, and travels in the
Tango-Amahashinodate Quasi-National Park... The main
highlight was a stop in the small village of Miyama
Kayabuki-no-Sato where 38 of the 50 houses are well-preserved
thatched roof houses 150-200 years old.
