Suitable for most ability levels; requires walking short distances and boarding a small sightseeing boat.
The sightseeing boat is typically about 25 minutes, offering close views of the Funaya rows and the bay.

The itinerary notes wheelchair accessibility for transport and many sites, but boarding the sightseeing boat and some narrow village lanes may present challenges—check specifics with the operator.
Yes—most full-day tours depart from Osaka; Miyazu and Amanohashidate are reachable by train from Kyoto but the guided day tour handles transfers and timing.
