Ine, a fishing village on the northern coast of Kyoto Prefecture designated as an Important Preservation District for Historic Buildings, is renowned for its unique funaya boat houses — traditional wooden structures extending directly over the water of Ine Bay so that fishermen could launch their boats directly from their living quarters. Ine Onsen Ine-no-funaya draws on chloride-rich coastal thermal waters in this supremely atmospheric setting where traditional maritime architecture meets the calm waters of the San'in coast, offering an intimate spa experience inseparable from the village's extraordinary cultural and architectural landscape. The boat tours of Ine Bay at sunset, passing dozens of funaya reflected in mirror-still water, and the graceful sea bream cuisine of Ine fishermen create one of the most memorable experiences in rural Japan to complement the thermal bathing.
