Ine Town is located in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is a beautiful port town on the northeastern tip of the Tango Peninsula, facing the Sea of Japan. Its unique Funaya architecture, with boats docked on the first floor and living spaces on the second, creates a landscape that appears to float on the sea, a rare sight designated as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.
