What attracted me most to Funaya Biyori in Ine Town, Kyoto Prefecture, was the unique scenery of the funaya boathouses. Walking along Ine Bay, you can see rows of traditional boathouses lining the coast, with the first floors directly connected to the water. The view is really distinctive.
Strolling around Funaya Biyori, you can get an up-close look at the views of Ine Bay and the streets lined with boathouses. When the weather is nice, the water looks very clear, and the whole town has a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. Compared with the bustling tourist attractions in central Kyoto, this place feels more suited to slow travel.
