Kyoto by the Sea E Line One-Day Tour (Complimentary 1 pack of prawn crackers per person)

▼One of the "Three Great Views of Japan" ～ Amanohashidate Viewing Spot（Approximately 2.5 hours, including time for self‑paid lunch）

Amanohashidate, located in Miyazu Bay on the Sea of Japan coast, is one of Japan's three most celebrated scenic views, along with Matsushima in Mutsu and Miyajima in Aki. It is a sandbar formed by coastal sedimentation, stretching approximately 3.6 kilometres, with around 8,000 pine trees of various sizes and white sandy beaches on both sides — a truly unique natural landscape. Its shape resembles a bridge stretching upward towards the heavens, hence the name "Amanohashidate" (Bridge to Heaven). As it lies at the confluence of Aso Sea and Miyazu Bay, visitors can not only appreciate the pure natural scenery but also enjoy the expansive sea views of the bay.

On Mount Monju, there is an observation deck overlooking Amanohashidate. The mountain features a cable car and amusement facilities suitable for all ages. From this vantage point, Amanohashidate appears like a dragon soaring into the sky, hence it is known as "Flying Dragon View" — a vibrant and dynamic sight to behold. (Cable car tickets are self‑paid: Amanohashidate Viewing Spot cable car/monorail combined ticket 850 yen)

▼Chion‑ji Temple ・ Monju‑do Hall（A temple for praying for academic success）

Chion‑ji Temple enshrines Monju Bosatsu, the bodhisattva of wisdom, and is visited by those praying for academic success — akin to the Chinese deity Cangwen Chang. The temple's mountain gate is the largest in the Tango region. One distinctive feature is the fan‑shaped fortune slips (omikuji). When the fan is hung upside down, the surface widens from narrow to broad, symbolising gradual improvement and progress. Nearby, the revolving bridge connects Amanohashidate to the land of Monju‑do. When large vessels pass through, the bridge rotates 90 degrees to let them through (at irregular intervals). (Free admission)

Revolving Bridge — A One‑of‑a‑Kind Rotating Marvel (Rotates at Irregular Intervals)

Imagine a bridge slowly rotating 90 degrees like the hand of a clock when a boat passes through — this is not a movie scene but the real‑life "Amanohashidate Revolving Bridge"! Whenever a sightseeing boat approaches, the bridge deck rotates horizontally to let the vessel pass, then gradually returns to its original position — the entire process is elegant and full of mechanical beauty.

Strolling or Beach Play by the Sea — A Summer‑Only Treasure

Both sides of the Amanohashidate sandbar feature white sandy beaches with fine, soft sand. Walking through the pine forest of Amanohashidate and admiring the various species and shapes of pine trees is a delightful experience. At the midpoint of Amanohashidate stands Amanohashidate Shrine, a popular spot for praying for romantic success. There is also an ancient well nearby whose "Isoshimizu" water is listed among Japan's 100 finest waters — remember to wash your hands before praying. In summer, it opens as a swimming beach with free admission, equipped with changing rooms, lifeguards, and coin‑operated showers. The dense pine trees along the beach form natural umbrellas.

▼Ine Funaya — "Japan's Venice" & "Kyoto's Last Hidden Gem"（Approximately 1 hour 20 minutes — stroll, cycle, or take a boat to feed seagulls; boat fare at your own expense）

【Ine Village】has been rated by Japanese people as one of Japan's 18 most beautiful villages. It features Japan's unique waterfront funaya (boat houses), offering an unspoiled natural landscape that you cannot find in typical tourist destinations. The funaya stretch approximately 5 kilometres along the southern shore of Ine Bay, with around 230 boat houses where residents still live in harmony with the sea before them. The crystal‑clear beautiful sea, deep green mountains, ever‑changing colours of the sky, and the distinctive hues of the traditional Japanese funaya architecture — these are the pure natural colours that can only be experienced in Ine‑cho. This fishing village along the coast, far from the hustle and bustle, is filled with rustic simplicity and purity.

Boat Tour: You may optionally take a pleasure boat, which takes approximately 25 minutes to cruise around Ine Bay, and you can also feed the seagulls. From the second‑floor deck, enjoy the stunning views of the funaya and create special moments with your family (boats depart on the hour and half‑hour; boat tickets self‑paid: adults 1,200 yen, children 600 yen, seagull feed 100 yen per pack; if the service is suspended due to rough seas, it will be replaced with free strolling.)

Cycling Tour: Ine offers complimentary bicycles for visitors to freely explore the village. Simply pick up a bike from any rental point and return it at any other — cycling through the quiet, empty alleys is an absolutely wonderful experience. (Free of charge; there are 5 parking spots throughout the village — park anytime, super convenient)

Enjoy a delightful end to the day's itinerary and begin the return journey.

Disband in Kyoto; the 18:20 return time is for reference only — we may return earlier depending on the smooth progress of the day's itinerary and favourable traffic conditions.
