- Ine Funaya Village – 1 Hour of Leisurely Exploration
Your journey begins in the charming fishing village of Ine, famous for its rare and beautifully preserved Funaya boat houses built directly over the water.
Spend a full hour strolling at your own pace through narrow seaside lanes, admiring the traditional wooden architecture and peaceful harbor views. Capture stunning waterfront photos, observe local fishing life, and immerse yourself in the quiet coastal atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city.
Each guest receives a personal packet of bird feed, allowing you to interact with the friendly seagulls that glide gracefully above the bay — a simple yet unforgettable experience that adds joy to your visit.

The boat ride offers excellent photo opportunities and a peaceful transition before your extended exploration at Amanohashidate. Relax, feel the sea breeze, and continue feeding seagulls with your included snack as they follow the boat.
