The Keihoku area in northern Kyoto City is the gateway to "Kyoto by the Forest," featuring vast forests and beautiful rural landscapes distinct from the typical city image. Long known as a production area for high-quality cedar (Kitamayama Cedar) presented to the Imperial Family, a rich forestry culture lives here. You can personally feel traditional Japanese farm life through activities like sweetfish fishing in clear streams and viewing hamlets with remaining thatched-roof houses. With abundant gibier cuisine and local organic ingredients, it is ideal for active travelers who want to experience the "real Japan" coexisting with untouched nature through cycling or trekking.
