Ine Town Honjo Bay Sea Kayaking Experience
Sea Kayaking in Ine, the Setting of the Urashima Taro Legend
The Honjo area of Ine Town is said to be the setting of the Japanese folktale “Urashima Taro,” in which a man is invited to the Dragon Palace after rescuing a turtle that children were tormenting on the beach. Set out by sea kayak from Honjo Beach, which appears in the legend as “Tokoyo Beach,” and admire the ria coastline unique to the Sea of Japan from the water. Instructors provide careful guidance, so beginners can participate with confidence.
