Ine no Funaya is a Kyoto fishing village small coastal town in Ine, about 120km north of Kyoto Station. This place is famous for its ancient wooden floating houses, along the coast of Ine Bay. Along with that is Amanohashidate, about 25km from Ine no Funaya, one of the "three great scenic spots" of Japan (Nihon Sankei - Top 3 most beautiful tourist destinations in Japan, besides Matsushima Bay and Miyajima Island).

Ine Fishing Village – Kyoto.

Although very popular with Japanese people, Ine & Amanohashidate is not well known to tourists, and is easily overlooked in Kyoto travel itinerary. Through this article, I will share with you my trip to these two beautiful places, to diversify your Kyoto trip.

How to go to Kyoto fishing village The easiest way is by car, because the train takes a long time, is expensive and you can't control your time.

I departed from Kyoto Station at 7:30 and it took about 3 hours to reach Ine fishing village. Since it was almost noon, I decided to eat here first before going sightseeing and taking pictures. Ine is famous for its very fresh seafood (of course, it's a fishing village), the restaurants are also close to each other, next to the parking lot.

Address of the restaurant I chose: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nQkQcWxHokJJK5pd6

You can also try the restaurants next door if this restaurant is too crowded.

Braised fish, octopus, cold noodles, miso soup and hot tea.

In addition to the specialty braised fish dish, you can also try Katsudon if you can't eat seafood.

Katsudon is also very attractive.

This restaurant is also worth the money for its location. Sitting on the 2nd floor of the restaurant or the backyard has a panoramic view of the fishing village from above, which is extremely beautiful, remember not to miss it.

Taking pictures with the entire Kyoto fishing village in the background.

This photo was taken with a phone, but it's still very beautiful.

After taking photos at the restaurant, I started to move down to the fishing village area below.

A very poetic scene.

Everything on the way is very beautiful and ancient, just raise the camera and you will have beautiful pictures.

Anywhere can be a great background for you to take pictures.

The next place you must visit is Ine cafe, a cafe with a view of the sea and the entire fishing village, extremely famous on Instagram.

The most valuable photo view at the shop.

Next, let's walk along the fishing village to visit and enjoy the fresh air here.

You can refer to a few more beautiful photo angles here:

This corner can be considered the most beautiful place to take pictures of the fishing village.

After about 2 hours of exploring and taking photos at Ine no Funaya, I moved to the area to take a boat to see the entire Ine bay.

Address: Ine Bay Sightseeing Boat – https://maps.app.goo.gl/bUdiRRQR7q35Uouz9

Outside the ticket office.

Here, there will be a 2-story yacht that will take you around Ine Bay (about 30 minutes), along with the experience of feeding seagulls and taking photos on the yacht.

Yacht tickets are 1000 JPY and don't forget to buy food for the seagulls at the entrance before boarding the boat (100 JPY 1 pack). In addition, here also sell specialties as well as souvenirs of the locality.

The yacht along with the seagulls are flying to eat what the passengers give them.

Seagulls fly a lot and fly very close to the yacht, so it's not difficult to take pictures of this wonderful scene.

Seagulls are waiting for food from tourists.
And this one criticizes the food of tourists 😀

My favorite shooting angle.

Some close-up photos of seagulls:

This young man seems to eat quite a lot of tourists' food 😀
This friend probably exercises more =)) Quite slim body.
In the ready position to receive food: v

After filming, taking pictures and feeding the seagulls, you can go down to the 1st floor of the yacht, there are also many beautiful photo angles here.

Looks very much like a window frame.

Some photos I took on the 1st floor:

I ended my visit to Ine no Funaya here with many interesting experiences and hundreds of beautiful photos to bring back.

Next, I got in the car and started moving to the next place: Amanohashidate - one of the three most beautiful scenic spots in Japan.

It takes about half an hour by car from Ine fishing village to Amanohashidate. Here we will queue to buy tickets to the top of the scenic spot. There are 2 types of tickets here: Chair lift (single seat) and Mono rail (sitting in the sightseeing train compartment). Both types cost 850 JPY for both up and down.

Tickets to the top of Amanohashidate.
This is Mono rail.
And here is the Chair lift.

I highly recommend you to take the Chair lift because you can comfortably take pictures with the view behind which is extremely beautiful, sitting in the Mono rail is quite cramped and boring.

The author of today, along with the beautiful view that I mentioned.

From the starting point to the top takes about 3-5 minutes, so there is plenty of time for everyone to film and take pictures.

And here is the first view when we reach the top:

The three great scenic spots of Japan - Amanohashidate.

All fatigue disappears after admiring this scene.

Caught a picture of another seagull.
Like a paradise.

There are also countless corners to take pictures here 😀

This view is like standing on the balcony looking out.
This photo was taken with a phone, but it can't reduce the beauty of the scenery here.
This shooting angle is quite interesting that many people do not notice.

There are also many services for everyone to experience here, especially for children, such as the Ferris wheel, cycling to see the scenery from above.

After more than an hour of taking pictures and having fun here, I was also about to leave before dark.

Stairs down to the cable car path.

At the way down, we continue to use the Chair lift to go, and can take pictures once more.

And I got in the car to return to Kyoto, it also took about 3 hours, and arrived at Kyoto station at 19:30. End of a perfect day exploring Ine no Funaya fishing village and Amanohashidate. End of a perfect day exploring Ine no Funaya fishing village and Amanohashidate.
