“Ine-no-Funaya (the boat houses of Ine)” are constructed such that the first floor is a garage-like space for boats, with living quarters upstairs. The row of approx. 230 boat houses surrounding the Ine Bay is a unique sight found nowhere else in the world.
The “Ine Bay Boat Tour”, an approx. 25-minute tour of the Ine Bay, offers a view of the boat houses that cannot be seen from land. Bird feed is available for purchase at the pier inside the boat. Hold some out from the boat and watch the seagulls gather.
Take a leisurely ride around Ine on a rental bicycle.
