This is an in-depth one-day tour combining magnificent natural wonders, millennium-old historical charm, delightful maritime experiences, and the aesthetic of mountain village living. Crossing the sea, sandbar, and ancient villages, encounter the most authentic beauty of Japan~

🌊 An Immersive Journey into Magnificent Natural Scenery

Overlook Ine Bay, known as one of the world's most beautiful bays, where the azure sea is embedded like a sapphire between the ocean and mountains. Sea and sky reflect each other, with rows of boat houses creating a moving picture that refreshes the body and mind.

🏡 An In-Depth Exploration of Historical Charm

Stroll along the quaint and elegant boat house streets, where time seems to flow back to the Edo period. Step into Ineura Park to closely observe the unique boat house architecture of Ine Town, appreciating the rich historical customs and fishermen's wisdom.

⛵ Intimate Interaction with Maritime Fun

Take the Amanohashidate sightseeing boat to leisurely enjoy the scenery of the sandbar. As the boat moves slowly, seagulls fly alongside and get close to tourists, allowing you to fully enjoy unique maritime fun between the blue sea and sky.

🚡 Magnificent Views from the Aerial Cableway

Take Amanohashidate's unique single-seat chairlift to slowly ascend to the Kasamatsu Observatory (or equivalently, the view platform). Using the classic "matanozoki" upside-down viewing angle, take in the panoramic spectacle of Amanohashidate resembling a flying dragon soaring into the sky, and feel the shocking charm of the "Three Scenic Views of Japan".

🏯 Prayers for Wisdom at Ancient Temples

Step into Chion-ji Temple to experience a solemn and tranquil Zen atmosphere. Sincerely pray to Monju Bosatsu, the Bodhisattva of wisdom, for academic progress and career success, and experience the unique fan-shaped Goshuin stamps to take home a blessing from the ancient temple.

🌾 A Timeless Stroll Through the Thatched Ancient Village

In the afternoon, head to Miyama-cho Kayabuki no Sato, hidden deep in the mountains and forests of Kyoto. Here, 38 thatched-roof ancient folk houses over 200 years old are preserved, with murmuring streams and curling wisps of smoke, resembling a tranquil Ukiyo-e print. Strolling among them, you will feel as if you have stepped into a nostalgic painting of the Showa era, experiencing the simplicity and poetry of traditional Japanese mountain village life.

✨ This is not just a day trip, but a triple poetic dialogue about the sea, the sandbar, and the ancient village~
