    桜や紅葉の時期ではない閑散期は車もガラガラでとても走りやすくて、適度なワインディングなので楽しいです。 ドライブにはちょうどいい場所だと思います。

    Kyoto Fu Nantan City Zuyama Highway
    Shuzan Kaido is a road that passes through Kyoto's Ukyo Ward and through the mountains to the city of Obama in Fukui Prefecture. It is famous for being one of the many roads built from the former Wakasa Province to Kyoto for transporting fish and other seafood, and it was nicknamed the Mackerel Road. The availability of roadside stations and campgrounds along the road makes it a popular, heavily traveled course for bicycle touring in the Kitayama Range.

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
