• Amanohashidate | One of the Three Most Scenic Spots in Japan

Amanohashidate is one of the most iconic attractions in northern Kyoto and the core destination of this tour. Upon arrival, depending on the time and your personal preferences, you can choose to experience Amanohashidate View Land, the cable car/chairlift, the Hiryu-kan View, Chion-ji Temple, and a walk along the Amanohashidate sandbar. From the observation deck, you can overlook the iconic view of the sandbar stretching across Miyazu Bay; you can also enjoy free time walking around, taking photos, and having lunch in the area.

※Tickets for the cable car, chairlift, and related facilities are not included in the private tour fee.

• Ine Funaya | Coastal Town in Northern Kyoto

The Ine Bay coastline preserves unique traditional boat houses (Funaya), forming an iconic coastal landscape in northern Kyoto. You can walk around the boat houses, take photos, and enjoy the scenery of Ine Bay; if time and weather permit on the day, you may also choose to take the Ine Bay sightseeing boat.

※The sightseeing boat is an optional experience at your own expense. Actual operation depends on the weather and daily schedule.
