What to expect

🚌Come with us! Leave the city behind, Kyoto by the Sea is ready to welcome you!

🚡Amanohashidate|A landscape you can only understand by looking at it upside down When you arrive at Amanohashidate, the first thing to do is not take photos, but rush to queue for the cable car! As the single chairlift slowly ascends, the wind whistles past your cheeks, and the pine forests and sandbar below shrink, you can’t help but laugh, like the nervous yet excited feeling of swinging too high as a child. At the observation deck, the guide will secretly tell you a secret: if you stand upright, Amanohashidate is just an ordinary sandbar. But if you bend down and look back through your legs—whoosh! The sandbar instantly transforms into a soaring dragon coiling over the sea🐉, which the Japanese call “Hiryu-kan” (Flying Dragon View). Although the posture is a bit comical, after laughing and looking up at that scene, you’ll understand why this place has firmly held its position as one of Japan’s Three Scenic Views for three hundred years!

⛩️Chion-ji Temple and Rotating Bridge|Take a detour, and slow down your heart too! After descending the mountain, you’ll pass Chion-ji Temple, adorned with fan-shaped fortune slips. Many students come specifically to pray to Monju Bodhisattva for good luck🙏, and pick up one of Wasaburo’s most famous “Wisdom Mochi” (red bean paste with chewy mochi) as a sweet reward for themselves! Further on, you’ll step onto a rotating bridge that turns 90 degrees every so often to allow boats to pass. While waiting for it to turn back, you get free sea breeze and the sound of waves. The beach by the bridge is so clear you can see your toes, and many people can’t resist taking off their shoes and rushing into the water🏖️!

🚤Ine Funaya, the Venice of Japan|The daily life of a fishing village is the most beautiful scenery Ine, the most beautiful bay, is home to “funaya” (boat houses) built three hundred years ago, where the first floor is a boathouse and the second floor is a residence. It’s known as the Venice of Japan, quiet and full of life. Jump on a sightseeing boat to explore the bay. Buy a bag of shrimp crackers and raise your hand, and seagulls will immediately swoop down to snatch them🕊️. The close interaction is incredibly satisfying! After disembarking, stroll along the funaya streets and you might even encounter fishermen drying nets and repairing boats, experiencing their real daily life. On this day, there’s no must-buy list, just slowly watching the sea, slowly walking, and slowly enjoying a meal of local seafood🐟. If you’re tired of the crowded city check-ins, this is your most energetic and relaxing day of this trip✨!

Review for: Korean-speaking Guide: Includes Amanohashidate Cable Car & Ine Bay Cruise Fees

💜A wonderful trip with Guide Seo Geum-bong💜 I was surprised that it was my first time having a guide with such experience! He's amazing!! Even though there weren't many Koreans, he did a great job explaining the destinations and overall Japanese culture, which I really appreciated. The stories I learned for the first time were so valuable! There was also a solo traveler, and he took good care of them too. He even took some great photos for us!!! It was a very enjoyable trip. Thank you!! I hope to see you again next time!!🥰

Review for: Korean-speaking Guide: Amanohashidate Cable Car & Ine Bay Cruise Not Included

Our trip to Ine no Funaya and Amanohashidate with Guide Goo Moon-gil was very enjoyable, comfortable, and pleasant. In particular, his excellent language skills in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese made the trip very convenient. Also, I was staying in Kyoto and booked the bus tour just the day before, but he confirmed the reservation immediately, allowing me to join the tour right away. If you're staying in Kyoto, I highly recommend trying the bus tour. Guide Goo Moon-gil also shared many great restaurant recommendations, famous Japanese foods, and convenient store 'hidden gems' that locals often buy, which was very helpful. I will definitely come back to Kyoto with my family for another bus tour. Please be sure to still be here until then!

​Absolutely amazing day trip! ​Northern Kyoto is stunning and so much more peaceful than the city. Reaching Amanohashidate and Ine no Funaya on your own by train/bus can be a massive logistical headache, so this Klook tour is 100% worth it for the convenience alone. ​Our tour guide, Suke, was fantastic! He was super organized, gave clear instructions, and shared great local tips throughout the day. The chairlift at Amanohashidate had incredible views, and feeding the seagulls/eagles from the boat at Ine was a highlight. Highly recommend this tour, especially if Suke is your guide!

It was a very worthwhile day trip where we got to see the beautiful view of Kyoto. The tour guide, Hua Hua, was very cheerful, funny, and kind. He always tried to make a joke to make us happy throughout the day. I also had onigiri; I brought onigiri from the city for lunch because the lunchtime was pretty short, and I wanted to enjoy more time seeing the scenery.

This was a lovely day trip away from the busy city. Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya were very beautiful, and the Tango Railway made the trip more special. The itinerary was smooth and the guide gave clear instructions. A relaxing and worthwhile experience.

Awesome tour guide by Yujin-san (Eugene), very friendly and funny! Went to many places and Yujin explained the places clearly before we reached to prep us and also helped us to get an extra toilet break on our way back to drop off point as the traffic was bad (May 5, Golden Week) and took more than what was estimated. Read many reviews and many were singing Yujin-San's high praises and he certainly did not disappoint! He have clocked a good 10 years of working here in Japan, speaks fluent English, Mandarin and Japanese. Bought this day tour package with good anticipation and was in awe by the good views of Amanohashidate and Ine, worth the price! Keep up the good and awesome work! Gambate! Hope to see you next time Eugene!

Thanks to our guide, Mr. Sim Man-pyeong, we had a comfortable and enjoyable tour. He's fluent in four languages, and we could really feel his passion and philosophy when he explained things. It was a bit disappointing that we couldn't ride bikes or the lift car as originally planned due to the rain when we started, but thanks to that, we got to explore some beautiful towns, and the misty fog made it even more picturesque, which was lovely, haha. Oh, and you absolutely must take the cruise! You'll get to experience the amazing sight of seagulls and black kites swooping down to eat shrimp crackers.

Review for: Korean-speaking Guide: Amanohashidate Cable Car & Ine Bay Cruise Not Included

It was great that our guide spoke Korean so well. Even though my friend and I were the only Koreans on the tour that day, the guide made sure to include Korean in all explanations. We weren't planning on taking the cruise, but we decided to go on the guide's recommendation, and I'm so glad we did. Thank you! The guide always told us where the restrooms were at each stop, which was very helpful, and even lent us Japanese Yen for lunch when we hadn't exchanged currency yet. It was truly wonderful. My only minor regret is that our main goal was to visit Ine Funaya Village, and we felt our time there was a bit short. However, there isn't much to do in the village besides taking pictures, so it's fine unless you plan to take twenty thousand photos! Guide 십만평 (Shipmanpyeong) is the best!

Tour Guide Sean of Easy Go made the tour all the more informative and memorable. The simplicity of Ine will make one realize how the basic things matter the most. And the breathtaking view of Amanohasidate was a very positive way to start the tour.

Our guide Sean was wonderful and attentive. He was friendly and were so great with my kids. He help us take family photos and even carried my kids to feed the seagulls so we can feed seagulls ourselves. Even though the weather wasn’t the best, we still had a fun time. I personally think the trip would have been better if we can spend a little more time at Ine boat houses and skip the souvenir shop. Other than that, I highly recommend this trip with Sean!!
