Kyoto Amanohashidate & Ine Funaya Day Trip (Optional Tango Train and Miyama Route)

Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya are classic routes in Kansai, but their transportation is inconvenient. Therefore, we have developed three routes that can depart from Osaka or Kyoto to meet your different needs. A. Leisure version: Slowly explore Amanohashidate + Ine Funaya. B. Miyama version: In addition to Amanohashidate + Ine Funaya, visit Miyama Thatched Village, stroll along the rural path through the thatched village streets. The old red post box is a classic photo spot. The atmosphere is full of green fields in spring and summer, red leaves in autumn, and snow scenes in winter. C. Tango Train version: The same version as popular online. The train will pass through the Yura River Marine Bridge, experiencing the same water train sea view as in the movie “Spirited Away.” Ine Funaya: Japan’s “Venice on the Water.” You can experience it by taking a sea cruise, going out to sea, admiring the panoramic view of Funaya up close, and feeding seagulls. White gulls chasing the boat create a healing and picturesque scene. Amanohashidate: One of Japan’s three most scenic views. Classic “viewing between the legs”: Ascend the park observation deck and look at the sandbar upside down between your legs. The giant dragon seems to soar into the sky, a 400-year-old traditional way to enjoy the view. If you don’t want to take the cable car up, you can rent a bicycle and ride, enjoying the sea breeze and pine fragrance, which is very pleasant. Miyama Kayabuki no Sato: Kansai’s Gassho-zukuri village, with about 40 traditional thatched-roof houses (Gassho-zukuri) preserved. The thick thatched roofs and wooden walls give it a rustic and fairy-tale feel. You must try Miyama milk ice cream / pudding, which is rich in milk flavor; check in at the red post box in the village, full of Japanese rural style. Arrange to take the Tango Railway train to Amanohashidate. The train will pass through the Yura River Marine Bridge, enjoying the same water train sea view as in “Spirited Away.” The journey takes about 40-50 minutes, and the coastal and rural scenery along the way is stunning.
