Located at the easternmost tip of Miyama-cho, the "Chii District" is an area where Japan's original landscape remains most vividly, housing the famous "Kayabuki no Sato." The sight of thatched-roof houses clustered together offers a thrill as if traveling back hundreds of years. The clear stream of the Yura River flows through the district, and in summer, one can see people enjoying sweetfish fishing and water activities. With the Chii Hachiman Shrine enshrining the guardian deity of the area, a lifestyle supported by simple yet deep faith still lives on. It is like a sacred place for travelers who want to thoroughly enjoy traditional Japanese rural culture and the beautifully changing mountains each season.
