An e-BIKE tour around the Funaya houses

The town of Ine is located on the eastern tip of the Tango Peninsula. Along the five kilometers of the bay that surrounds the town, about 230 Funaya houses or traditional fisherman houses with places to dock boats on the first floor, stand in a row. This program offers three types of tours, all of which you can relax and enjoy the beautiful cityscape and scenery with a guide.

This tour visits Funaya houses and farming villages in the Tsutsukawa district with a guide. Participants observe Ine’s oldest Funaya, “Funaya of the Edo period,” and festivity boats. At the tour destination, Tsutsukawa district, you can have a meal at the restaurant “Inenosora GOHAN,” which is a renovated old house. You can enjoy the two different sceneries of Ine no Funaya houses and a farming village. On top of that, you can enjoy a meal that comes with plenty of local vegetables as a reward, so you will be satisfied for sure. The tour covers a total of 14km and takes about three hours.

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.
