"Amanohashidate" is a spit-shaped sandbar formed by sedimentation along the coast. There are many ancient pine trees on it. It looks like a bridge extending toward the sky, so it is named "Amanohashidate". When you go to Amanohashidate, you must use the special method of "gumi" to watch the flipping sandbar from the lower body area, which looks like a blue dragon flying in the sky. This wonder is also called "Flying Dragon View", with cherry blossoms in spring, green in summer, red maple in autumn, The winter snow scene has different styles throughout the year ※The best period for cherry blossom viewing is from early April to mid-April / The best time for maple viewing is from mid-November to late November

Panoramic view of Amanohashidate under a clear sky, showcasing the bridge-like sandbar spanning the bay, flanked by continuous mountains and azure waters, renowned as one of Japan's Three Views.

Come explore "Ine" which is located on the Tango Peninsula in the north of Kyoto. The streets of the small fishing village near the sea are quiet and simple. Its traditional building "Funaya" is a major feature. Unlike ordinary bungalows with a garage on the first floor, the first floor of the Funaya is a boathouse, and the second floor is a boathouse. The building is the daily residence. The itinerary is arranged to take a tour boat. You can admire the special architecture of the boat house from the boat. Feed the seagulls and eagles on the boat first. It is recommended to bring gloves to prevent injuries and sun protection.

Expansive view of Ine Bay's Funaya boathouse village, with rows of wooden houses built along the waterfront, backed by lush green forests, showcasing a unique maritime lifestyle.

Amanohashidate Umatsu Park's "Wheel of Wisdom" is said to bring good luck, resolve misfortunes, and grant wishes by throwing small tiles through the Wheel of Wisdom.

A circular art installation at Amanohashidate observation deck, perfectly framing the majestic blue bay and layered mountain scenery, offering a unique photo opportunity.

"Miyama Thatched Cottage" is located in Miyama Town, Nantan City, on the outskirts of Kyoto. It is the most beautiful and non-commercial thatched house town in Japan. It retains Japan's most primitive rural tribal scenery and is similar to Shirakawa-go in Gifu Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture. Ouchi-juku is also known as the three largest Gasshoya settlements in Japan. Many thatched houses are reproduced here, and it is one of the few remaining important traditional buildings in Japan. *The best cherry blossom viewing period in the year: around mid-April/The best time in the year Maple season: early November to mid-November

FAQ

1. How long is the recommended stay at Ine Boathouses to fully experience its charm?

A stay of approximately 2 to 3 hours at the Ine Boathouses is recommended to leisurely stroll among the boat houses and feel their unique fishing village atmosphere. This duration is sufficient to take a boat tour of Ine Bay, admire the boathouses from the sea, explore the quiet alleys, savor the local pace of life, take beautiful photos, and deeply experience the charm of 'Kyoto by the Sea'.

2. What are the unique features of the Ine Boathouses?

The most distinctive feature of the Ine Boathouses is their unique architecture. The first floor of the houses serves as a boat mooring area, while the second floor is a living space, forming Japan's only existing waterside settlement landscape. Visitors can not only get a close-up view of the fishermen's lives but also take a boat tour from the sea to admire the boathouses. This experience allows you to witness the traditional fishing village scenery where humans coexist with nature and appreciate the unique charm of this architectural cluster, designated as an Important Traditional Buildings Preservation District in Japan.

3. Where exactly can I board the Ine Bay Sightseeing Cruise?

Boarding points for the Ine Bay Sightseeing Cruise are typically located at specific piers along the Ine Bay coast, such as the 'Ine Bay Cruise' boarding area near the Ine Boathouses. From these piers, the cruise circumnavigates Ine Bay, allowing passengers to admire the unique architectural style of the boathouses from a sea perspective. You may also have the chance to interact with seagulls following the boat, adding to the journey's enjoyment.

4. What is the unique feature of viewing Amanohashidate upside down and what are the best viewing spots?

Amanohashidate is famous for its unique 'upside-down view.' When visitors bend over and look backward between their legs, the sandbar appears inverted against the sky and sea, creating a peculiar spectacle that resembles a 'bridge in the sky.' The best viewing spots are the 'Kasumatsu Observation Deck' in Kasumatsu Park and 'Hiryu-kan' on the south side. Both locations offer expansive views, allowing for the quintessential upside-down viewing experience.

5. How much time is recommended to fully experience Amanohashidate?

It is recommended to allocate half a day to a full day for Amanohashidate to fully experience its rich natural and cultural landscapes. You can take a cable car or chair lift to Kasumatsu Park to overlook the panoramic view, stroll or cycle along the sandbar, enjoy a pine forest bath, and visit nearby attractions like Chion-ji Temple. If time permits, you can also go to Hiryu-kan to admire this scenic spot, one of Japan's Three Great Views, from different angles.

6. Does Miyama Kayabuki no Sato usually get snow in winter? What seasons are best for visiting?

Miyama Kayabuki no Sato is located in a mountainous area and usually experiences snowfall in winter (approximately December to March), creating a picturesque snow-white world. The 'Snow Lantern Festival' held annually is particularly enchanting. Besides winter, spring with its new greenery, summer's lush foliage, and autumn's vibrant red leaves each offer their own charm. It is suitable for visits year-round to experience the thatched-roof houses in different seasonal settings.

7. Are there any recommended transportation methods for visiting Kyoto's suburban attractions like Ine, Amanohashidate, and Miyama Kayabuki no Sato?

Since attractions like Ine, Amanohashidate, and Miyama Kayabuki no Sato are spread out in the Kyoto suburbs, using public transportation might be time-consuming and require multiple transfers. It is recommended to opt for day tour packages that offer dedicated transportation, such as bus tours departing from Namba, Osaka. You can travel comfortably and easily in a dedicated vehicle, saving the hassle of transfers and route planning, allowing you to visit these popular spots more efficiently.

8. What are the best months to visit Ine Boathouses and what seasonal experiences are available?

Ine Boathouses offer different charms throughout the year. Spring and autumn have pleasant weather, ideal for leisurely walks and boat tours, appreciating the blend of blue skies, the sea, and traditional architecture. In summer, you can feel the lively atmosphere of the fishing village, while in winter, you might get to see snowy boathouses, which have a unique charm. Regardless of when you visit, you can experience the unique local fishing culture and the tranquility of the bay.
