Miyama Thatched Village Simultaneous Water Discharge Inspection (Autumn)

About this event

At "Miyama Thatched Village" (Miyama Kayabuki no Sato), located in Kita, Miyama-cho, Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture, and registered as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, the autumn simultaneous water discharge inspection will be conducted. This inspection aims to provide fire prevention training for local residents and check the fire-fighting water discharge guns all at once, taking place twice a year in spring and autumn. On the day of the event, water will be discharged from the water guns designed to protect the thatched roofs, allowing visitors to enjoy the rare spectacle, seen only twice a year, of water spray forming arches across the sky. Through this drill, the organizers also aim to deepen visiting tourists' understanding of the necessity of protecting cultural properties from fire. Parking on the day requires a complete advance reservation, so reservations are required if visiting by private car. The use of public transportation is also recommended.
