Kyoto Tango Coast Secret Spot [Includes Seagull Bait] Amanohashidate & Ine Funaya One-Day Tour (Departing from Osaka/Kyoto)

My mom and I came to Osaka for a 3-night, 4-day self-guided trip, and I thought it would be good to do a day tour, so after looking around, I booked one through Klook! It was my first time doing a day tour, and I was worried because the travel time was quite long, but ⭐️the conclusion is that I highly recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Osaka or Kyoto!⭐️ The view from the Amanohashidate observatory was truly magnificent, and I debated whether or not to take the cruise, but feeding shrimp crackers to the seagulls and hawks was surprisingly fun, so I definitely recommend trying it at least once! It's amazing to see the hawks snatching the shrimp crackers.👍🏻 The photos I took at Ine Funaya also turned out beautifully, making me feel like it was a great decision to sign up for this tour. And 🩵our guide, MIKA-san,🩵 was incredibly kind. Even though the bus travel time was long, our guide told us how to take good photos once we arrived at each destination and even gave us detailed recommendations for other travel spots and restaurants in Japan, so the journey wasn't boring at all. Thanks to our guide, we had a fun trip! Thank you!😊

Last time, I visited Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, so this time I went to places I hadn't seen before. It was just before a long holiday, so there weren't many people, and it was wonderfully peaceful and quiet! When you actually see it, it's not so much 'Wow, that's amazing!' but rather beautiful scenery, the path you walk while admiring that scenery, various photos taken at photo spots, and an unexpected seagull zoo feeding (making eye contact with seagulls and hawks). I didn't have high expectations, but it was fun! The only downside is that the travel time is a bit long if you depart from Osaka! However, our guide, MICA, explained many things about Japan so well and took such beautiful photos that I even changed my KakaoTalk profile picture for the first time in a while! 😄

Such a fun trip! My family, especially my two teenage children, thoroughly enjoyed it. The scenic countryside views during the bus ride were beautiful. Riding the chairlift at Amanohashidate and taking in the amazing view from the top was memorable experience . The boat ride around Ine Bay offered wonderful views of the traditional boathouses, and feeding the seagulls with eagles hovering above was an exhilarating experience and one of the highlights of the day. Our English-speaking guide, Jay, was informative and humorous, making the trip even more enjoyable. I recommend bringing some snacks or a light lunch to eat on the bus so you have more time to explore. Overall, an excellent tour and highly recommended

booking n redemption was easy. the day before the tour, our tour guide J contacted us and confirmed our reservation and meeting venue n time. On the actual morning, he contacted us to update on the exact bus pick up spot n time. Our tour guide was humorous and able to provide detailed information about the attractions . it was a wet morning and fortunately the sky cleared and we were able to enjoy the cable car ride, cruise and Ine village. the cable car ride was fun and my kids were able to manage on their own, do note that there’s no seat belt provided. the amusement park up on top was fun too and it’s JPY 400 per pax per ride. the seagulls feeding during the boat ride was the main highlight for my children. we were each given a packet of chips for feeding the seagulls. it’s recommended to get extra packets for the kids to have fun feeding them but beware of their poos when going to the upper deck. the Ine finishing village is beautiful.

After eight years, I finally took a trip to Osaka again, and I also visited Kyoto, a place I really wanted to see, reminiscing about old memories. I was especially curious about Ine Funaya, so I booked a bus tour. For us, who love the sea and a tranquil atmosphere, it truly became an unforgettable trip! The day before, our guide, Mika-san, sent detailed instructions via KakaoTalk about the meeting point, and it wasn't too far from our Shinsaibashi accommodation, making travel convenient. It rained, but surprisingly, it stopped every time we went sightseeing, so we got great photos and barely got wet. Our first stop was Amanohashidate, where we had lunch immediately upon arrival. For those who have trouble finding a restaurant, Mika-san can help with reservations. We quietly enjoyed our meal at “Yajisan Senbei,” a place we had researched beforehand. Afterward, we took a cable car up to View Land. It was a small amusement park, perfect for some lighthearted fun, and the dango ice cream tasted even better thanks to the atmosphere. After staying for about two and a half hours, we moved on to Ine Funaya. As soon as we arrived, we took a pleasure boat to explore the village. The feeding experience, which we added on-site (around 2,200 yen per adult?), was also a unique and fun activity. It was a smaller village than I expected, but precisely because of that, its quiet and peaceful atmosphere was as beautiful and impressive as I had hoped. Above all, the best part of this tour was our guide, Mika-san! She meticulously shared everything from historical stories to restaurant recommendations, and her genuine passion for the tour made it even more satisfying. If I go again, I definitely want to participate with my parents! Thanks to her, it was a warm and healing trip to Kyoto's seaside village. Don't hesitate; I highly recommend booking the seaside village bus tour with Mika-san!

The one-day tour to Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya, led by tour guide Haihua, was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we met, the guide was incredibly friendly and attentive to every traveler. The explanations of the sights along the way were clear and engaging, never too rigid. She also shared many local stories and travel tips, making the entire trip even more interesting. Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya are truly beautiful, and thanks to Haihua's guidance, this trip left us with very fond memories. I highly recommend it to everyone! 🤍

Both Amanohashidate and Ine no Funaya offered magnificent scenery, and we were blessed with great weather, making for a truly wonderful location. Our guide, Liu, was excellent, providing detailed explanations not only in English and Chinese but also thoughtfully guiding the few Japanese participants. Thank you so much! Because the locations were so beautiful, I felt that "there wasn't enough time!" which is why I only gave the course and schedule 3 stars. I wished I had half a day to explore Kasamatsu Park, the shrines, and temples on the opposite side of Amanohashidate, and the town of Funaya. This tour made me want to return for an overnight stay to explore at a more leisurely pace. I hope that in the future, there will be a system to book round-trip transportation on different dates. I was also surprised by how popular these somewhat inconveniently located places are among international visitors, even though many Japanese people have never been there. They're as popular as Takayama and Kyoto!

Kyoto city was really crowded. Even places like Arashiyama had many more people than before. So, I looked for a less crowded place in the suburbs and found this spot. The scenery was beautiful, and it was great to travel comfortably by bus for long distances. Guide Lee Song-ran gave interesting explanations, and best of all, we could communicate in Korean, which was a huge plus. For those of us traveling alone, she took photos without us even having to ask, and I was so happy to get some beautiful pictures at Ine Funaya. I hadn't booked the lift and cruise due to weather concerns, but she collectively checked with everyone on the bus and purchased tickets for us, which was very convenient since I didn't have to do it myself. At Amanohashidate, there was a place selling sushi lunchboxes, but it apparently required advance reservations. I found out too late after eating, which was a bit disappointing. Although it was a group tour, and the schedule felt a bit tight, overall, it was a fulfilling and enjoyable trip. It was also great that we could depart from Kyoto. There were tours that departed earlier, but I appreciated that this tour didn't require us to rush too much in the morning.

This is a very comfortable day trip. You don't need to wake up too early, and the return trip isn't too late. Our tour guide, Ms. Li Songlan, is fluent in Japanese and Korean and provides detailed explanations to tourists from different countries. She clearly explains the precautions and meeting times at each stop. Tourists only need to visit the attractions at each stop and don't have to worry about anything else. It's a very relaxing and enjoyable trip. If you've already been to the famous attractions in Kyoto city, you can choose this trip to climb to a high place for a panoramic view, take a boat trip with seagulls, and have an extraordinary experience.

We came to Osaka and decided to take a tour to spend a day elsewhere. The places we visited were peaceful and offered a wonderful experience of Japanese culture. There was also a boat trip, and my friend who came with me said that feeding shrimp crackers to the seagulls was a great way to feel childlike wonder again after a long time. Overall, the itinerary was excellent, and our guide, Geum-bong Seo, provided great explanations, managed our time well, and took beautiful photos for us at various photo spots. I think this tour would be perfect for those with a very spontaneous personality (extreme P on the MBTI) to enjoy a day without any issues. We're leaving with wonderful memories!
