Ine Town Tourism Exchange Facility Funaya Biyori

Located in Ine Town on the Tango Peninsula in northern Kyoto Prefecture, Funaya Biyori is a tourism and exchange facility where visitors can enjoy local food and culture while gazing out at the famous “funaya” boat houses along Ine Bay. Since opening in 2017, it has become a lively base for exploring the area, with a seaside café (INE CAFE), a dining spot (Wadatsumi), seasonal pop-up shops, and even a boathouse for festival ships.

Kyoto Ine Funaya | A Dreamlike Harbor Hideaway
A charming hidden town along the Sea of Japan, with traditional funaya boathouses stretching along Ine Bay. The first floor of each building serves as a boat garage, while the second floor is a living space, creating a unique waterfront village landscape. The deep blue water reflects the rustic wooden buildings, making it feel as though you’ve stepped into a tranquil harbor painting. Stroll through the fishing village alleys, enjoy the relaxed pace far from the hustle and bustle of the city, and experience Japan’s purest harbor charm.

Togetsukyo Bridge

The bridge was built in the first half of the 9th century during the Heian period (794-1185). It has been washed out many times, but each time it has been rebuilt. It is said that the name was given by Emperor Kameyama in the Kamakura period (1185-1333), as the moon moved across the bridge as if it were crossing over it.

Kyoto Togetsukyo Bridge | An Iconic Arashiyama Landmark
Togetsukyo Bridge spans the Katsura River against the beautiful mountain scenery of Arashiyama, making it one of Kyoto’s most iconic scenic spots. During this summer visit, both riverbanks were lush and green, with a gentle breeze blowing. Walking along the riverside and across the bridge, I experienced Kyoto’s uniquely Japanese poetic charm and relaxed atmosphere, creating unforgettable memories of a summer trip.
