Two different ocean sceneries await! [Funaya & amazing beach scenery e-BIKE tour]

Behind the calm Ine Bay, stretches the wild Japan Sea, steep cliffs, and strange rocks that form a peculiar view. On this tour, you can enjoy two contrasting amazing sceneries of the ocean. Another appeal of the tour is the many must-see spots during the trip like Tanada, Jofuku Shrine, and “Arai no Funaya,” which still has the original Funaya form. This tour is highly recommended if you want to enjoy the ocean sceneries unique to Ine thoroughly. The tour covers a total of 12km and takes about three hours.

The wild scenery is the appeal of the Japan Sea beaches, which is entirely different from the Ine Bay scenery.
