Ine Bay Sightseeing Boat

This sightseeing boat takes passengers on an approximately 25-minute cruise around Ine Bay on the Tango Peninsula in northern Kyoto. Rows of funaya boathouses line the bay, offering beautiful, quintessentially Japanese scenery from the water. Funaya are unusual buildings with boat garages on the first floor that open directly onto the sea and living spaces on the second floor.

Taking the boat around Ine Bay was absolutely stunning! Seeing all the funaya houses lined up right in front of you is just breathtaking.

Arakura Fuji Sengen Shrine

Set halfway up Mount Arakura, this shrine was founded in 705 as the local deity of the Arakura district in the Yatsushiro County area of the ancient Kai Province. In 807, following a major eruption of Mount Fuji, an imperial envoy came to offer a ceremony praying for the country's peace and the quelling of the mountain. This occasion doubles as the origin story of the shrine’s title as "San'koku Daiichi Yama" (The Greatest Mountain in the Three Countries) which was gifted by Emperor Heizei, along with the shrine’s iconic red torii gate and imperial scroll written by the Emperor himself.
