Share a 1 Day Trip Ine Travel Plan Start with Ine Bay Boat Tour, cruise around Ine Bay 1,200 yen per person, enjoy the view of the floating village 📸 The atmosphere is great, the air is cool. When we walk to get on the boat, we will see seagulls waiting for us to feed them. They will eat shrimp crackers. Stop by and buy some for them. They will follow us from the time the boat leaves until the boat returns. We will spend about 30 minutes cruising around the bay. The boat is available every day, open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The boat leaves every 30 minutes. After the boat trip, we drove to Ine Village (Ine Funaya), which takes only 10 minutes. The highlight that everyone wants to see is the 🛖 230 unusual houses called Funaya, stretching in a beautiful curve along the bay, for a distance of more than 5 kilometers, which is why this area is called Ine no Funaya. (Inenofunaya) The specialty of “Funaya” is the lower floor It is a dock, while the upper floor is a residence. It is a traditional architectural style to make it convenient and fast to leave home to go fishing. I must say that the evening light is very beautiful. 🌅 The golden light reflects on the water. If you have time, I recommend staying here for a night. After taking pictures of the bay, I recommend coming to sit and relax at Ine Cafe. This is a famous cafe located in this village. It is right by the sea. In the evening, there are fewer people than during the day. It is a wooden house cafe with the same feeling as the houses in this area. It has 2 floors. Japanese people like to come and relax and watch the sunset at the window on the 2nd floor. On the 1st floor, there is a photo corner that they have set up for you to take pictures. The evening is very chill. We bought coffee and sat and sipped, enjoying the beauty until the light faded. We saw the way of life of the people here. If anyone wants to find a place to travel to the ultimate slow life, don't forget to stop by to visit Ine. #KyotoReview #KyotoTravel #Kyoto attractions #Ine #Ine #New Year New Trip

If you are in Kyoto, go to Ine Town if you have time! It turns out there is a small fishing village that is very healing. The Japanese call it the Venice of Japan A small fishing village with few tourists and no commercial elements, with Japanese-style boat houses I thought I went to the world of Hayao Miyazaki's comics This place is very close to Amanohashidate Those Japanese-style houseboats become cafes in the summer There are huge floor-to-ceiling windows where you can sit outside and look at the sea. On a nice day, you can take a tour boat to feed the seagulls ~ it's fun 📍Address: Ine Town #GlobalTravel

This ancient city is world-famous for its long history and rich cultural heritage. However, as countless tourists flock to Kyoto's temples and shrines, those once peaceful holy places have now become noisy and crowded [shame R]. In these crowded places, it is often difficult to calm down and savor the charm of the ancient capital. But in fact, there is a secret hidden in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture, that is a quiet corner called "#海之京都[专题]#". This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Kyoto, but it has natural beauty that is not inferior to any famous scenic spots. 🌟The sea in Kyoto is different from the azure blue sea in Okinawa or the cold sea in Hokkaido. It has more of a peaceful and secluded feeling, and this feeling can be best reflected in Ine. This place is called "Kyoto's Venice on the Sea". Every household near the sea does not have to have a parking lot, but there must be a "boat parking lot" on the first floor of the house. Time seems to have stopped here. You can see old people sitting on the beach or fishermen in the harbor. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, only a sense of tranquility and seclusion. ✅Must-visit attractions: ✔️Takeda Castle Ruins The castle in the sky surrounded by the sea of ​​clouds recreates the scenes of Hayao Miyazaki's animation; the vast and spectacular castle ruins are more like a "lost city". ✔️Amanohashidate The scenery can be appreciated from the unique "guchiku". 8,000 pine trees create a sense of grandeur on the 3.6-kilometer-long sandbar. ✔️Ine Funaya The "Venice" town of Japan, the tranquil and indifferent texture has a natural healing power, you can sit on the shore and be in a daze all day long. ✔️Kyoto Tango Railway You can check out the famous sea train scene in "Spirited Away" on the other side of the Ryokawa Bridge; or take one for a sea-viewing trip. ✔️The world's only Tatami Starbucks Located in the Yae-saka Tea House in Ninezaka, Kyoto, the unique tatami design not only allows fashion to adapt to local customs, but also allows the perfect combination of tea ceremony and coffee. ⚠️Itinerary tips: 1⃣️Tankai Bus Ine returns to Amanohashidate early to avoid being unable to return (no taxis are available). 2⃣️In the Amanohashidate/Ine area, restaurants close very early, so be sure to plan your time in advance and make reasonable arrangements. 3⃣️"For accommodation, when Amanohashidate Hotel is more expensive during the peak season, you can choose a hot spring hotel near Miyazu Station as a substitute. 🙌In short, Kyoto by the Sea is very beautiful and very suitable for travelers who like nature and Japanese culture. Friends who have the conditions can choose to charter a car, which saves worry and effort and does not require backtracking~ #Ine #Sea of ​​Kyoto #Kyoto Travel #Japan Travel #Chartered Car Tour #Natural Beauty #Kyoto Attractions

Located in the northern part of Kyoto, Ine Town is renowned for its unique 'funaya' (boat houses). These traditional wooden houses built along the sea have been home to local fishermen for generations. Over 230 boat houses are scattered along the serene Ine Bay, closely lined up along the coastline, creating a picturesque and elegant scene. The Ine boat houses are well-preserved, making it feel as if time has stood still, allowing visitors to step back into a rich historical atmosphere. 🚩Preserving the Traditional Fishing Village Lifestyle The design of the Ine boat houses is very special. The ground floor is usually a boat garage or storage area for fishing gear, while the upper floor serves as the living space. This design not only makes daily life and fishing activities more convenient for the fishermen but also makes the boat houses a unique architectural feature of the bay. Walking along the winding paths of Ine, looking at the rows of wooden houses standing by the coast, the scene before your eyes seems to have traveled from the Edo period. The fishing nets fluttering on the boat houses reveal the simple life of the locals who live in harmony with the sea day after day, inspiring endless respect for their wisdom in coexisting with nature. 📍Deeply Experience the Daily Life of Residents In Ine, you can not only admire the beautiful boat house scenery but also gain an in-depth understanding of the local residents' way of life. Many locals still choose to live in these traditional wooden houses, leading a simple fishing village life. In the early morning, accompanied by the sound of waves, the scene of fishermen sailing out to sea to fish is like a moving life painting. Tourists can take a boat tour around Ine Bay, overlooking the panoramic view of the boat houses from the boat and observing the daily work of the fishermen up close. If you're lucky, you might even chat with the locals about their daily lives and feel the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle. 🎉Unique Boat House Inn Experience To deeply feel the charm of Ine, consider staying at a local boat house inn. Some boat houses have been carefully renovated, retaining their traditional exterior while adding modern conveniences such as Japanese tatami mats and hot spring baths. Staying in a boat house at night, you can open the window to hear the gentle sound of waves lapping against the boats, lying in a comfortable bed, experiencing unprecedented peace and relaxation. This accommodation experience not only allows you to escape the city's noise but also lets you deeply feel the soul and culture of Ine. 👍Leisurely Sightseeing Tour Ine Town has different charms in each season, whether it's the falling cherry blossoms in spring, the blue sea and sky in summer, the red leaves in autumn, or the snow-covered scenery in winter, each season presents a different beauty. It is recommended to stroll along the Ine paths in the early morning or at dusk, as the changing light and shadows during these times make the entire boat house village seem to be covered with a golden filter. Don't forget to bring your camera to capture this poetic and picturesque scenery. If you're lucky, you might even capture moments of seagulls or water birds playing and flying among the boat houses. 🚩Conclusion The Ine boat houses are not only a stunning scenic spot but also a living piece of history. They perfectly preserve the lifestyle of past fishing villages, allowing every visitor to feel the rustic charm and human touch here. If you long for a trip away from the hustle and bustle, close to nature and culture, the Ine boat houses are definitely a must-visit choice. During this journey, take the time to record the beautiful moments of this mysterious waterfront village, adding a rich historical flavor to your travels! 🔴Travel Tips: Transfer to a bus at Amanohashidate Station 🟠Must-Visit Spots: Boat House Exploration, Strolling in Ine 🟡Recommended Hotels: Boat House Inns in the Ine Area 🟢Must-Try Food: Seafood Cuisine 🔵Shopping Guide: Ine Mankai Sake

Who can relate to this feeling? This trip was absolutely worth it, especially visiting "Ine Funaya." The beauty of the place left me speechless—it felt less like Japan and more like the set of Spirited Away! ✨ For transportation, public transit or joining a tour group is recommended. Tours save time and eliminate the hassle of transfers, making them a top choice for travel enthusiasts. You can depart from various locations, and there are plenty of tour buses available. As soon as you step off the bus, the view hits you: over 200 wooden houses lined up along the bay, with boats docked on the first floor and people living on the second. The sea reflects the blue sky like a mirror, accompanied by the sound of seagulls and the hum of fishing boat engines. Is this place even real? Welcome to Ine Funaya. 🏠 Sipping coffee at "Funaya Biyori" is a must! Ine Town, Yosano District Hungry and eager, I headed straight to the popular café "Funaya Biyori Ine Cafe," only to be stunned by the long queue (weekends are indeed crowded 👯♀️). But the window seats made it all worthwhile! The view of the gradient blue sea paired with the café's homemade coffee and desserts was simply delightful. What’s it like to be "robbed" by seagulls on a sightseeing boat? Ine Bay Sightseeing Cruise After satisfying my hunger, I hopped on the Ine Bay sightseeing boat. Tickets need to be purchased on-site, so bring cash. As soon as the boat started moving, I encountered "airborne thieves"—a dozen seagulls chasing the boat and getting up close and personal! Frantically, I pulled out shrimp crackers to feed them, only to have them snatched away with precision (pro tip: hold your hand higher, don’t ask how I know 😅). Looking back at the Funaya houses from the sea is even more breathtaking. Wooden lattice windows reveal clothes drying inside, while elderly women sun-dry fish on the terraces. It feels like stepping into a parallel world forgotten by time.

Our family of four took a one-day tour and arrived here by bus. As soon as we got off the bus, the beautiful Ine Bay came into view. It was really beautiful. Next, slowly approaching the boat house area, you can see a two-story building. The ground floor is used as a boat berth and fishing gear storage space, and the second floor is the living area. Nowadays, many boat houses have been converted into cafes or B&Bs. It would be perfect if you could stay longer, or even for a night. I really want to sit in the Funaya area and leisurely enjoy the beautiful scenery and drink coffee~ #MarchGoodPlaces2025

There are places in Japan that whisper. Then there’s Ine, a little fishing village that sings—softly, over the water, with the rhythm of the waves and the creak of wooden boathouses. Tucked along the Tango Peninsula, just an hour from Amanohashidate, Ine is the kind of place that makes you pause mid-itinerary and think, “How have I never heard of this before?” I arrived just before dusk, when the sea turns silver and the sky can’t decide between blue and gold. From the first glimpse of the iconic funaya—those magical boat houses built right over the water—I knew I was somewhere special. Each house was a two-story wonder: boat garage below, cozy home above. It’s as if Venice and rural Japan had a beautiful, humble love child. And here’s the thrill: I got to sail past them. I boarded a tiny local boat, the sea gently rocking as we glided past rows of funaya, close enough to see fishing nets drying and cats lounging like they owned the place (they probably do). The boatman, an old local with the best kind of twinkle in his eye, shared legends and laughed in the sea wind. I couldn’t understand every word, but the feeling? Pure connection. Dinner that night? A feast of freshly caught seafood in a little ryokan that faced the bay. Even as a vegetarian, the care and flavor in each seasonal dish was unforgettable—every bite a story of the sea and the land. Later, I took a quiet walk along the shore. No neon lights, no noise—just the moonlight shimmering on the water and the soft clink of fishing ropes in the breeze. Ine isn’t flashy. It doesn’t try to impress. It doesn’t need to. It simply exists—quiet, beautiful, timeless—and in doing so, it moves you. So if you’re out there saying, “Where else can I go in Japan?”—come to Ine. Let the water slow you down. Let the silence speak. Let the boats rock you back into wonder. —Sonny📍

Kyoto's Classic Fishing Village: I N E For those who have plans to visit Kyoto and have some time... I recommend taking a boat trip to see Ine Bay. Take a boat trip to see the fishing village. Inside the boat, you can also feed the seagulls that fly around the boat. They fly along the whole way. It's so much fun. You can buy snacks to feed the birds before boarding the boat. I think it costs about 100 yen/bag. But if you're afraid that they'll pinch your fingers, I don't recommend buying them. After that, you can walk around Ine Village. Walk leisurely. Each house has a gimmick. We only had half a day. I felt like I wanted to stay longer... ---------------------------------------------- 🚢First trip: 9:00 AM, Last trip: 4:30 PM Boats leave every 30 minutes. 💴Boat fare: 1,000 yen per person 🚃Getting there: Since we went from Amanohashidate So you can use the Tango Kairiku bus service. Take a single ride for about 50 minutes and get off at Ine-wan meguri Hide station. Ine Sightseeing Cruise is right near the bus stop. Note: We didn't use any pass because we calculated that it wasn't worth it. #TravelJapan#TravelPlan#NatureAttractions#trip

The sightseeing boat cruises around Ine Bay, allowing you to feed the seagulls while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Ine Funaya (boat houses).
