Product Info
The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.
Kyoto's attractions aren't limited to temples. There are also many famous spots on the Sea of Japan side, but they are a bit difficult to reach independently. This tour will take you to two of the most popular tourist destinations.
Enjoy stunning views from the sea and from the mountaintop, as well as delicious meals featuring fresh seafood unique to this coastal location.
[1] Ine's boathouses (Ine Bay sightseeing boats)
Along the tranquil inland sea of Ine Bay, a row of unique buildings called "funaya" (boathouses) can be seen. The first floor is a garage, and the second floor is a residence. The landscape, with about 230 of these buildings, has been designated a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.
This tour allows you to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the charming boathouse district from the sea aboard a sightseeing boat (approximately 25 minutes). The breathtaking view that unfolds before your eyes is sure to be photogenic. *The sightseeing boat fare is included in the tour price. *If the Ine Bay sightseeing boat is cancelled, we will take you to an alternative sightseeing destination.
[2] Amanohashidate
Along with Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture and Miyajima in Hiroshima Prefecture, Amanohashidate is considered one of Japan's three most scenic spots. The mystical formations created by nature over thousands of years are truly breathtaking! Nearby is Chionji Temple, one of Japan's most representative temples, counted as one of Japan's three most important temples dedicated to Monju, and known as a power spot. You can reach the summit by taking a chairlift (6 minutes one way) or a monorail (7 minutes one way). *Admission to Amanohashidate View Land is included in the tour price.
