Ine Town Tourism Exchange Facility Funaya Biyori

Located in Ine Town on the Tango Peninsula in northern Kyoto Prefecture, Funaya Biyori is a tourism and exchange facility where visitors can enjoy local food and culture while gazing out at the famous “funaya” boat houses along Ine Bay. Since opening in 2017, it has become a lively base for exploring the area, with a seaside café (INE CAFE), a dining spot (Wadatsumi), seasonal pop-up shops, and even a boathouse for festival ships.

INE CAFE, designed to resemble a funaya, offers coffee, cakes, and light meals with close-up views of the calm, lake-like waters of Ine Bay. The shifting colors of the sea and sky at sunset, with the silhouettes of funaya in the background, create a particularly photogenic scene.
Wadatsumi, the restaurant, serves sushi lunches and dinner courses featuring freshly caught seafood from Ine and local sake. Seasonal specialties are especially popular, such as oysters in spring and summer, and buri shabu (yellowtail hotpot) in winter.

The facility also houses a reservation-only nail salon and a food space with rotating limited-time shops, adding to its appeal as both a cultural and culinary hub.
