- Ine Funaya Village – 1 Hour of Leisurely Exploration
Your journey begins in the charming fishing village of Ine, famous for its rare and beautifully preserved Funaya boat houses built directly over the water.
Spend a full hour strolling at your own pace through narrow seaside lanes, admiring the traditional wooden architecture and peaceful harbour views. Capture stunning waterfront photos, observe local fishing life, and immerse yourself in the quiet coastal atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city.
Each guest receives a personal packet of bird feed, allowing you to interact with the friendly seagulls that glide gracefully above the bay — a simple yet unforgettable experience that adds joy to your visit.
- Kasamatsu Park – Scenic Boat Ride to Amanohashidate
Next, head towards Kasamatsu Park, one of the best vantage points in the region. From here, embark on a scenic boat ride to Amanohashidate (ticket included), cruising across the tranquil waters while enjoying uninterrupted views of the famous sandbar stretching elegantly between sky and sea.
The boat ride offers excellent photo opportunities and a peaceful transition before your extended exploration at Amanohashidate. Relax, feel the sea breeze, and continue feeding seagulls with your included snack as they follow the boat.
- Amanohashidate (Heavenly Bridge) – 2.5 Hours of Free Exploration
Arrive at Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views, and enjoy a generous 2.5 hours of free time to explore at your own rhythm.
Walk along the iconic pine-covered sandbar, visit Chion-ji Temple to pray for wisdom and good fortune, or head up to Amanohashidate View Land for panoramic views of the “Flying Dragon” formation. Adventurous guests may also try the popular Sky Cycling ride for a unique perspective from above.
With extended time built into the schedule, you won’t feel rushed. Instead, you can slow down, take photos, enjoy the sea breeze, and truly absorb the natural beauty of this extraordinary landscape.
