This full-day tour offers stunning natural scenery, cultural landmarks, and fresh seafood experiences.

Highlights

• Maizuru Seafood Market
  The largest seafood market on the Sea of Japan side, offering a wide variety of fresh fish, crabs, shellfish, and shrimp at competitive prices. Enjoy sushi and seafood rice bowls prepared on site. The market is a favorite for the buy-and-eat style seafood barbecue and sashimi.
• Amanohashidate
  Renowned as one of Japan’s “Three Scenic Views,” this 3.6 km sandbar is lined with around 8,000 pine trees. Ride the cable car or monorail to the observation deck for panoramic views. Visit Chienji Temple, famous for its fan-shaped lucky charms, stroll along the beach and pine forest, and explore Amanohashidate Shrine.
• Ine Fishing Village
  Known as the “Venice of Japan,” Ine Bay features over 230 traditional funaya (boat houses) stretching along the coast for five kilometers. The peaceful village is surrounded by lush hills and clear waters. Enjoy a walk or bike ride (bike rental at your own expense) and visit “Funaya Biyori” café for beautiful views of the bay.

Reviews

“One of the best tours I have taken!”
The guide was very helpful with photos and questions. All the locations were enjoyable. Highly recommended!

“Polite and helpful staff, but some setbacks.”
The guide and driver were excellent, but the seafood market was unexpectedly closed. The operator compensated us, and we took a sightseeing boat instead, though that was also cut short due to weather.
