Spring, summer, fall and winter.
Miyama has four distinct seasons. Japanese culture is greatly influenced by the four seasons in Miyama. Not only by the beautiful sceneries, but also the traditional events that take place each season.
Miyama is 98% forested and has an abundance of rivers, valleys and natural beauty. All four seasons have distinct characteristics and charm, and there are outdoor activities available year round.
There is guided snow shoe trekking in the winter, and rafting, canyoning and an abundance of hiking trails
(a local guide is required as its easy to get lost) to visit year round. There are also cycling tours and some of the best fishing spots in Japan.
A range of cultural activities are also available from bamboo basket weaving to traditional Japanese carpentry and pottery. Most activities can be enjoyed with English instructions but this requires some planning and arrangements in advance so do not leave it till the last minute.
