Ine, an ancient fishing village known as the "Venice of Kyoto", is hidden in Tango Peninsula, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, and is famous for its unique "Funaya" buildings. These wooden houses built by the water have a history of hundreds of years. The first floor of the Funaya leads directly to the bay, making it convenient for boats to dock, and the second floor is the living space. This design, a lifestyle of harmonious coexistence with nature, shows the wisdom and ingenuity of the fishermen of Ine.
This 3.6-kilometer-long natural sandbar is like a giant dragon lying on the blue sea. More than 8,000 Japanese black pine trees are planted on the sandbar. Walking along it, you can see the blue Sea of Japan on one side and the tranquil Aso Sea on the other. The sound of pine waves and the sea breeze are refreshing. What is amazing is that although it is close to the sea, clear fresh water flows under the sandbar. The Iso-Shimizu Ancient Well in the middle is listed as one of the 100 famous waters in Japan, and the well water is sweet and drinkable.
In Japanese mythology, Amanohashidate is known as the "bridge to heaven."
