Ine is a quiet fishing village in northern Kyoto Prefecture, known for its funaya wooden houses built directly on the water, with boats stored on the ground floor. The village is small and calm, and the view of the houses lined up along the bay is beautiful in a very simple, authentic way. You can walk through the village, stop at small cafés, or just enjoy the coastline.

One of the highlights is taking a boat ride around the bay. It’s a short tour that lets you see the funaya from the water and understand how the village is built. The ride is easy, calm, and perfect for photos.

Price:

Boat ride ≈ ¥1,000 per person
