－ Attractions Introduction －

Kyoto Ine: Ine, the ancient fishing village known as the "Venice of Kyoto," is tucked away on the Tango Peninsula in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, and is renowned for its unique "funaya" (boathouses), wooden houses built along the waterfront, dating back centuries. The first floor of the boathouses opens directly onto the bay, facilitating docking for boats, while the second floor houses living spaces. This design, harmoniously coexisting with nature, showcases the wisdom and ingenuity of Ine's fishermen.

Amanohashidate: One of the three most scenic views of Japan. This 3.6-kilometer-long natural sandbar, resembling a giant dragon lying on the azure sea, is home to over 8,000 Japanese black pines. Strolling along, you'll be greeted by the azure Sea of Japan on one side and the tranquil Aso Sea on the other. The sound of pine trees and the gentle sea breeze create a refreshing and soothing experience. Despite its proximity to the ocean, the sandbar boasts crystal-clear freshwater flowing beneath it. The ancient Isosemizu well in the middle of the sandbar is listed as one of Japan's 100 most famous waters, boasting sweet and drinkable water.

In Japanese mythology, Amanohashidate is known as the "bridge to heaven." From the Amanohashidate View Land observatory, the sandbar looks majestically like a giant dragon winding across the azure sea. Don't forget to try the classic pose—the "Gu no Zōki" (crotch peek)! Bend over and peer back between your legs. The sandbar appears like a suspended bridge, a breathtaking sight.

In addition to the Amanohashidate Ropeway, Amanohashidate View Land offers a variety of attractions perfect for the whole family. You can also experience the mystical Wheel of Wisdom (Chie no Waki). Legend has it that successfully passing a small tile through the ring will bring good luck, ward off misfortune, and grant your wishes.
