Soak in the tranquil Japanese countryside atmosphere at Miyama Kayabuki no Sato, where traditional thatched-roof houses gather, and admire the beautiful coastal scenery at Amanohashidate, which means 'bridge to the sky.' You'll experience a different charm from the complex city center.
All the way to Ine no Funaya, where you can feel the atmosphere of an old fishing village! Embark on a journey where nature and tradition blend together!

Ine no Funaya, the Venice of Japan
And all the way to Amanohashidate!
Ine no Funaya is called the Venice of Japan! You can see a unique house structure where the first floor is a space for boats and the second floor is a living space. It's an even more attractive village because you can take a walk, ride a bicycle, or take a boat to see the village.
Have a great day with a tour that takes you to Ine Village, one of the 18 most beautiful villages in Japan, and Kayabuki no Sato!
A time to feel real romance, not just the usual tourist destinations

Ine Funaya
In Ine, a seaside town in northern Kyoto, you can see the scenery of 'Funaya (boat houses)' that seem to float on the sea. The first floor of the house is used as a garage for boats, and the second floor is a living space, so you can get a glimpse of the unique lifestyle of living with the sea. The tranquil seaside scenery and the wooden buildings lined up are great for taking pictures. Taking a cruise and looking at the scenery of Ine Funaya village from the sea is also highly recommended.
Amanohashidate View Land
It is a representative observation point where you can see Amanohashidate, one of Japan's three most scenic spots, at a glance. The long sandy beach looks like a bridge across the sky, so it is named 'Amanohashidate'. At the observatory, if you look at the scenery upside down with a unique viewing method called 'looking at the bridge while bending over', you can see a spectacular view that looks like a dragon flying into the sky. It's also fun to take a cable car or lift up.
Miyama Kayabuki no Sato
It is a traditional thatched-roof village located deep in the mountains of Kyoto, and retains the old rural scenery of Japan. The appearance of about 30 Kayabuki (thatched roof) houses lined up gives you the feeling of traveling back in time to old Japan. Each season has a different charm, and the snow-covered scenery in winter is especially famous for being beautiful. There are also minshuku and small cafes and workshops that utilize traditional houses, so it's good to look around at your leisure.
