About an hour's drive from Kyoto City, Kameoka City in Kyoto Prefecture is the hometown of the Japanese warlord Akechi Mitsuhide, a city well-known among fans of the Warring States period. The city center retains the ancient streets surrounding the ruins of Kameyama Castle, still echoing the shadow of the castle town. Moving away from the urban area towards the mountain roads, the atmosphere changes dramatically upon reaching the plateau, where one is greeted by scenery reminiscent of a European countryside. This is the tourist destination "DREAMTON VILLAGE," hidden within the ancient city of Kyoto.
DREAMTON VILLAGE is a small village that authentically recreates the charm of an old and beautiful English countryside. It has been painstakingly crafted over many years by the owner Marrie, who is active in architectural design and spatial planning. Within the village, there are a tea house restaurant, a church with a chapel, B&B-style accommodations, stone-paved streets, and an English garden blooming with seasonal flowers, all embodying the essence of an ancient and beautiful English countryside.
To visit the village, one must dine at the restaurant, hold a wedding in the chapel, or stay at the B&B, using the village's facilities as a prerequisite. The most popular spot is the tea house restaurant "PONT-OAK," where visitors can enjoy coffee or meals. The menu features authentic British dishes such as fish and chips, meat pies, and afternoon tea, all prepared to traditional English standards. As time passes, one can easily forget they are in Japan.
The concept, style, and offerings of DREAMTON VILLAGE differ from typical theme parks and recreational facilities, welcoming gentlemen and ladies who adhere to etiquette and rules.
