Amanohashidate, Ine Bay and Miyama Day Trip from Osaka with Transport

The itinerary travels from central Osaka to Ine Bay, Amanohashidate, and Miyama Kayabuki no Sato. In Ine the visit focuses on the coastal area with approximately 230 traditional funaya (boat houses) that have boat storage on the first floor and residences above, with time to walk the lanes and view the bay; seaside cafés and food services are available. At Amanohashidate the route includes the 3.6-kilometer sandbar lined with pine trees, a cable car to View Land (self-paid) for panoramic views, and visits to Chion-ji Temple, Monju-do Hall, Amanohashidate Shrine and Isoshimizu Spring; the traditional viewing method of observing the sandbar upside down between the legs is a local practice. The Miyama stop covers Miyama Kayabuki no Sato, a village of over 40 thatched-roof houses with architectural features such as chigi and yukiwari and displays of traditional rural life; local cafés are present. The tour includes round-trip transport from central Osaka by air-conditioned vehicle, a tour guide, and scheduled free time at each stop.
