The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

This itinerary selects the most representative hidden gems in northern Kyoto – Ine Funaya, Funaya-Ine Station, Amanohashidate, and Miyama Gassho-zukuri Village – connecting rare seaside villages, three scenic spots of Japan, and traditional thatched-roof settlements in one day. Ine Funaya, known as the "Venice of Japan," is built along Ine Bay, with boats moored on the first floor and living quarters on the second, preserving the original ecological fishing village lifestyle. The azure sea, mountains, and funaya create a unique coastal landscape. From Funaya-Ine Station, you can enjoy panoramic views of the bay and experience the slow and peaceful daily life of Ine town. Afterwards, head to Amanohashidate, one of the three scenic spots of Japan. A 3.6-kilometer sandbar spans the Aso Sea and Miyazu Bay. You can climb the View Land observation deck to overlook the "Hiryukan" view, or stroll through the pine forest and white sand, enjoying a leisurely afternoon. Finally, we visited Miyama Gassho-zukuri Village, known as the "Kyoto Gassho-zukuri Village." The neatly arranged thatched houses and mountain scenery made us feel as if we had stepped back into the Edo period. We took photos in front of the old-fashioned red mailboxes and sampled the popular Miyama milk or ice cream. This trip offered a comprehensive view of Japan's original landscape, encompassing the sea, mountains, and traditional villages.
