Amanohashidate & Ine Bay Tour With English Speaking Driver

Elevate your Kyoto experience with a private tour to Amanohashidate and Ine Bay: Discover breathtaking landscapes and charming coastal gems that surpass the ordinary attractions of Kyoto.
Join a full-day tour to experience a blend of natural beauty and unique culture, departing from Osaka or Kyoto. Marvel at the stunning vistas of Amanohashidate, seek blessings at Chionji Temple, and uncover the secrets of Kyoto at the boathouses of Ine.

Accompanied by your guide and driver, venture to Amanohashidate, a sandbar celebrated as one of Japan's three most scenic views. This 3.6 km natural wonder, adorned with approximately 8,000 pine trees, stretches along the Japan Sea and Amanohashidate Bay, formed by coastal sedimentation.

Admire the unique landscape featuring white sandy beaches on both the east and west sides. The sandbar's shape, resembling a bridge reaching towards the sky, has earned it the name "Amanohashidate" or Heaven's Bridge. Immerse yourself in the pure natural beauty and ocean views of the surrounding islands.

Optionally, take a cable car to Mt. Monju for a breathtaking view of Amanohashidate from an observation deck (at your expense). From this vantage point, see the sandbar shaped like a dragon soaring into the sky, earning it the name "View of the Flying Dragon." Enjoy a sightseeing car and attractions designed for all ages.

Next, visit Chionji Temple, also known as Bussharado, a temple famed for academic success. The temple's gate is the largest in the Tango region. Observe the unique fan-shaped omikuji (fortune-telling paper), which, when hung upside down, symbolizes gradual improvement.

Nearby, witness the revolving bridge connecting Amanohashidate and Bussharado. This bridge rotates 90 degrees to allow large ships to pass. Alternatively, relax at the Amanohashidate Hot Springs, enjoying natural spring waters with a view. Try the outdoor foot bath for free.

Finally, journey to the charming world of Ine Boathouses, one of Kyoto's hidden gems. Marvel at the traditional boat-house architecture of this small fishing village. Explore Ine on foot or by bicycle, or feed seagulls by boat, all while appreciating the picturesque coastal scenery.
