Set off on a journey to Kansai's hidden gems! Explore Amanohashidate, one of Japan’s Three Views—wander the pine-fringed sandbar and marvel at the stunning blend of mountains and sea. Climb Mount Monju for a bird’s-eye view of Amanohashidate, which resembles a galloping dragon. Discover Ine Funeya, the "Venice of Japan": admire the scattered floating boathouses along the bay, take a boat trip to cruise around the bay, or cycle through the lanes to enjoy the fishing village’s simple and leisurely life.
Visitors can wander Amanohashidate, stroll the lush pine-cloaked sandbar, and admire the magnificent mountains and sea. Take a cable car to Mount Monju’s summit, overlook its panoramic view like a soaring dragon, and enjoy mountain amusement facilities. In spare time, visit Chionji Temple & Monju Hall for prayers, and catch the revolving bridge’s rotating spectacle. In summer, head to the beach for sand, waves and pine-shaded relaxation.
Zhien Temple is dedicated to Kirito Manjusri, the Bodhisattva who controls wisdom, and prays for success in studies, similar to Emperor Cangwenchang. The gate of Chionji Temple is the largest in the Tango area. What’s special here is the signed poem in the shape of a fan. If the fan is hung upside down, the surface of the fan will change from thin to wide, which means it will gradually become more beautiful. The adjacent swing bridge, the bridge connecting Amanohashidate and Monjudo land, when a large ship wants to pass, the swing bridge will rotate 90 degrees to allow the ship to pass (from time to time)
Visitors can explore Ine Funeya, a place that boasts the vitality of the "Venice of Japan" and the tranquility of "Kyoto’s Last Hidden Gem". Over 230 floating boathouses are built along the bay, complementing the blue sea and green mountains, exuding an uncommercialized original charm. Take a cruise (departs on the hour and half-hour, free walking in rough weather) around Ine Bay. Free bicycles are available in the village, with 5 pick-up and drop-off points for easy access. Cycle through village paths and savor the unique tranquility and simplicity of the fishing village.
