What to expect

Experience a quieter, more refined side of Kyoto on this private full-day journey to Kyoto by the Sea, combining coastal scenery with preserved rural heritage.

This experience connects three of northern Kyoto’s most popular hidden gems:

Miyama Kayabuki-no-Sato — A rural, traditional village in Nantan City (on the outskirts of Kyoto) known for its well-preserved, historic thatched-roof houses.

Amanohashidate — A narrow sandbar covered in pine trees. Its name translates to “Bridge to Heaven” and is recognized as one of Japan’s three most scenic views.

Ine Funaya — A unique fishing town on the Tango Peninsula featuring roughly 230 traditional “boathouses” (funaya) built directly along the water’s edge. It’s frequently described as one of Japan’s most beautiful and dreamlike villages.

This tour is ideal for travelers seeking a composed, culturally rich exploration of Kyoto beyond its well-known urban landmarks.
