[Kyoto Amanohashidate & Ine Funaya] Excursão de um dia para Amanohashidate e Ine Funaya em busca de um lugar secreto - Vila Marítima (partindo de Osaka)

Thanks to Guide Seo Geum-bong, I made some wonderful memories. Besides me, there were a few other solo travelers, and the guide diligently took photos for all of us at the photo spots. I sincerely thank you. Main point: The time at Amanohashidate might feel quite long, but if you're planning to go to the observatory on the opposite side of View Land, you'll need to hurry a bit. I think a bicycle is probably the best way to get to the other side. I walked there and took a boat back, but walking took up so much time that I couldn't properly enjoy View Land. (Bicycle 500 yen / One-way boat 800 yen) Nevertheless, the moments of enjoying the view from the chairlifts at both observatories will be unforgettable. The chairlift ride at both observatories takes over 10 minutes round trip, and since it's a single-person system, it's great for slowly enjoying the view. (View Land lift 1000 yen / Opposite observatory lift 800 yen) View Land has overwhelmingly more tourists compared to the opposite observatory. Moving on to Ine, the given time is quite tight. It's a continuous spectacle of Ine Funaya unfolding, so take lots of photos and capture as much as you can with your eyes. Thanks to the guide, I was able to get some great photos. I'm sure the reason everyone chooses this tour is its hard-to-reach location. That's right. Due to the location, this tour involves a lot of bus travel. However, there are no regrets, and the satisfaction is overwhelming. Originally, I came with my family, but since I was the only one who wanted to visit these two places, I ended up staying in Japan for two more nights alone. (My family found the distance burdensome.) I'll boast about it to my family, and I think we'll revisit together next time. It was a tour I pushed through with a sense of resignation despite the rain forecast. Fortunately, it only sprinkled a few drops and then didn't rain at all. Even if it had rained, I think I would have enjoyed it just the same. Perhaps rainy Ine would have been even prettier? Finally, above all, traveling with Guide Seo Geum-bong will make the trip even more enjoyable. Because he is trustworthy, fun, and most importantly, kind. Thank you!

On September 24th, we took a tour from Kyoto guided by MIKA, and it was a wonderful experience. The instructions for the meeting point and updates on our arrival in Kyoto were so smooth that the tour started right on time without any delays. During the journey, we were deeply moved by the guide's detailed explanations and her passionate dedication in carefully checking whether everyone wanted to ride the amusement park lift and take the boat cruise upon arrival. The tour composition and additional purchase options (such as the Amanohashidate amusement park lift and Ine Bay boat cruise) were not excessive, but rather essential elements for an efficient tour, making the full package very satisfying. The meal during the tour was also not bad in terms of saving time. Given the fairly tight schedule, we think it was much better to grab a quick bite rather than searching for a restaurant and waiting in line, allowing us to spend ample time at the observatory. Originally, we planned to rent a car and leave Kyoto early in the morning, but considering the difficulty of the driving routes (local roads with strict speed limits, railway crossings, and two-lane round-trip highway sections unlike Korea) and driving in an unfamiliar area, choosing the tour was a much better decision than a independent car rental trip. Based on this wonderful tour experience, we feel confident that next time we can enjoy a more leisurely trip to Amanohashidate and Ine using a rental car. Thanks to our guide MIKA, who enthusiastically responded to all our questions, recommended souvenirs, and suggested photo spots throughout the tour, it became a truly memorable experience. Although the schedule was tight due to the physical distance and road conditions, the tour itinerary was extremely well-organized and fulfilling.

Thanks to Guide Seo Geum-bong, I went on a babymoon trip to Amanohashidate and Ine Funaya with my husband and parents. After only seeing the city of Osaka, it was great to relax here, enjoy the scenery, and take photos. My parents also loved it, which made me happy. We made many wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing so many great tips! Your kindness left a lasting impression.

The scenery of Amanohashidate is a work of art. However, the dragon seems hard to find, and you don't necessarily need to ride the sky bicycle. It's more reasonable to walk up the stairs to see it. Personally, I preferred Ine Funaya; the water is clean, and it's a great spot for photos. What was most impressive was Guide Mika's explanations, which were very interesting and full of useful information. Even after the tour ended and we were on our way home, she continued to recommend good restaurants and provide extra information, which left a lasting impression. I'm very satisfied.

This day trip to northern Kyoto was an absolutely amazing experience! The itinerary took us from Amanohashidate to the Ine Bay cruise, and then to the Ine Funaya boat houses. The scenery unfolded beautifully, layer by layer, and was incredibly therapeutic ✨. Our first stop was Amanohashidate, one of Japan's three most scenic views. From the observation deck, we gazed at the narrow sandbar stretching across the azure sea and sky. We also tried the unique "matanozoki" view, looking through our legs, which offered a novel and interesting perspective of the mountains, sea, beaches, and villages. Under the clear sky, the photos turned out stunning, with the vast blue-green ocean providing an expansive view; every shot was wallpaper-worthy. Next, we headed to Ine and boarded a sightseeing boat for a cruise. The sea breeze brushed our faces, and seabirds circled and danced around the boat. The scenery of the mountains, forests, and reefs on both sides was breathtaking. Feeling the sea breeze and admiring the sea and mountains, we felt completely relaxed. After disembarking, we strolled through the Ine Funaya village. The ancient boat houses, built right on the water's edge, were reflected in the clear blue water. Peeking through the gaps in the leaves, it was tranquil and imbued with the unique charm of a fishing village. Although today was a quick visit, I truly feel that Ine shouldn't just be a passing stop! I highly recommend staying here for a night to quietly watch the sunset over the sea in the evening and listen to the sound of the waves. Escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, it's incredibly refreshing, and your heart will feel exceptionally peaceful. Slowing down to experience the gentleness of the fishing village would be a truly unforgettable experience, highly recommended! (Our guide, Jay, was very humorous and had excellent professional skills, explaining in Chinese, Japanese, and English. Thumbs up for him! 👍🏻)

Great tour! I highly recommend adding this to your trip. I loved our tour guide, she was very helpful. I recommend going to the meet-up point at least 15 minutes early because there are a lot of buses (Osaka) and tours at the same time. We had plenty of time at each location. If you're vegetarian, I recommend bringing your own meal as there aren't many options at the stops. The chairlift is a fun experience, but give yourself time to explore the sandbar below as well. After the boat tour, there is a boathouse in the village; you can go to the first floor for ¥300, a great photo spot on the cement blocks at the end.

I really wanted to visit Ine Funaya, so I made a reservation! Our guide was Mr. Goomun-gil, who spoke Korean perfectly and was also very fluent in Chinese! Most importantly, he was kind and I could feel his desire to help us enjoy the rest of our trip. The package was generally clean, and the travel time was quite long! We were fine because we slept during the journey, haha. The weather was often gloomy, with rain followed by clear skies, but it felt like a Totoro forest and was very atmospheric. Fortunately, the weather brightened up relatively when we arrived at Ine Funaya, which I had been looking forward to the most, so we enjoyed sightseeing. Also, on the way to board the cruise, we drove along the coastal road, and the sunset there was incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the charm of a small coastal village!

I highly recommend this one-day tour to Amanohashidate. It offers a unique view of the Japanese countryside. The views are stunning. No wonder the place is called the Venice of Japan. Our tour operator, Liu, was very helpful throughout the day. He ensured we coordinated to each destination on time. I recommend Liu😊

Guide Choo Hong seems like a genius. They continuously speak three languages: Korean, Chinese, and Japanese, with Chinese appearing to be their main language. The guide is very diligent and extremely kind. 1. They seemed to struggle quite a bit explaining in both Korean and Chinese. 2. It would be better to spend more relaxed time at the second location, Ine no Funaya (fishing village), rather than the first place, Amanohashidate (dragon, lift).

During our travels, our guide Mika kept us entertained by providing excellent explanations of the attractions we were visiting and the surrounding areas. She also took wonderful family photos for us. We returned earlier than expected, which was great as it gave us more time for our next activity.
