Plan your Ine Bay Sightseeing Boat visit
Allow 1h for the visit, then add the journey.
The time above is Fyno’s curated visit allowance. Add the approach, queues, booked sessions and the return.
Plan the approach
Build the trip around the current bus connection and last return, then add the village walk or boat outing. Leave time for the journey back to Kyoto if that is your next overnight. [3]
MAKE IT YOUR TRIP
Choose your experience
Choose what fits your day
Keep private boathouses and working fishing areas private. A public village walk, a view from above and a sightseeing boat offer different perspectives without entering residents’ homes.
