Travel from Osaka to three of Kyoto Prefecture’s most atmospheric sites: the pine-lined sandbar of Amanohashidate, the water-front funaya of Ine, and Miyama’s thatched-roof village. This full-day tour mixes coastal geology, living fishing traditions, and preserved rural architecture with walkable exploration and local seafood.
