We are located about 50 kilometres from Kyoto station.
By car it takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
From Kyoto station there are two routes.
The first follows route 9 and then the highway (Kyoto Jyukando towards Fukuchiyama), get off the highway at Sonobe and follow signs for Hiyoshi (route 19). Follow route 19 until you get to Miyama, then turn left on route 368 go through the tunnel and continue for about 3 minutes until you see our thatched cottage Hayabusa on your left hand side.
The scenic route takes about the same time, but is a little harder to find your way and not recommended in bad weather or if you are not a confident driver as the road is narrow and windy in places. This route follows route 162 towards Keihoku, then just stay on 162 all the way to Miyama. Finding 162 from Kyoto city is the tricky part, you will need a map or a navigation system.
When using a navigation system you can use the address and / or the phone number of the Miyama tourist association. This is located centrally in the Miyama region and a convenient place to arrive with a public toilet, shop and gasoline stand all in one location.

Then we will pick you up and transport you to your accommodation via our shuttle bus (35 minutes drive). We will meet you at the turn style in Sonobe station.
