This 10-hour day tour departs Osaka by bus and visits three highlights on the northern coast of Kyoto Prefecture in one day. Admire the pine-lined sandbar and bay views of Amanohashidate, counted among Japan's Three Scenic Views, and explore Ine Funaya, a village of wooden boathouses that seem to float on the sea. Finally, visit Miyama Kayabuki no Sato, a village of traditional thatched-roof houses. A Chinese/English-speaking guide accompanies the tour, and you can choose an option that includes the Amanohashidate ropeway and an Ine boat tour.
Depart by bus at 7:30 a.m. from the meeting point in Nipponbashi, Osaka. After about 2.5 hours you reach Ine Bay, then visit Ine Funaya, Amanohashidate and Miyama Kayabuki no Sato in turn, returning to Osaka around 6:30 p.m. Details are sent by email by 7:00 p.m. the day before the tour, so please check both your inbox and spam folder.
Ine Funaya is a fishing village where about 230 two-story wooden boathouses line Ine Bay for about 5 km. The ground floor opens directly onto the sea as a boat garage and workspace, while the upper floor is the living space. Its floating appearance has earned it the nickname "Venice of Japan," and you have about 1 hour to explore freely. The boat tour is included only in the "Ropeway Ticket & Boat Tour" option.
Amanohashidate is a sandbar about 3.5 km long lined with about 8,000 pine trees. You stay about 2 hours here for lunch and free time. At Amanohashidate View Land, the observation park on top of Mt. Monju, you can enjoy the view in the traditional way by bending over and looking upside down between your legs. The park is reached by ropeway or monorail, and tickets are included only in the "Ropeway Ticket & Boat Tour" option. The shopping street in front of the station offers local food such as Miyazu Bay seafood, chikuwa (fish cake) and chie-no-mochi.
Miyama Kayabuki no Sato is a nationally designated preservation district surrounded by forested mountains and the Yura River, with nearly 40 traditional thatched-roof houses over 150 to 200 years old. After about 40 minutes exploring this still-inhabited village, you return to Osaka.
※ On weekends and Japanese public holidays, the schedule and length of stays may change due to traffic or early closures.
