Book this tour alone or include it in a custom trip
This private tour can be booked as a standalone day or included within a custom Japan itinerary, with hotels, transport, guides, cultural experiences, and local support arranged around your dates.
Northern Kyoto Prefecture – an hour and a half from the city by private car – is a completely different Japan. The coast of the Sea of Japan here is a landscape of pine-covered sandbars, fishing villages built directly on the water and thatched farmhouses unchanged since the Edo period. Almost no foreign visitors come.
On this private full-day tour your guide takes you through three of the north’s most extraordinary places – Miyama’s preserved thatched village, the Ine funaya boathouses where the ground floor is a garage for fishing boats and the family lives above, and Amanohashidate, the pine-covered sandbar crossing Miyazu Bay recognised as one of Japan’s Three Most Scenic Views. A private boat cruise with sushi and bento lunch on the water is included.
The Kyoto most visitors never see.
