“Kyoto by the Sea” encompasses regions including Amanohashidate, Miyazu and Ine, as well as the Yasaka and Tango regions in northern Kyoto. Along Miyazu Bay lies the Amanohashidate Sandbar , loosely translated as “bridge in heaven,” which is known as one of Japan's three most scenic views. Also in the Miyazu region, visitors will find Nariaiji Temple, one of the 33 temples visited along the Kansai Kannon Pilgrimage route. The serene village of Ine includes around 230 “funaya ” (boat houses) sitting right on the water, painting a picturesque scene. Visitors seeking sandy beaches and ocean waves can explore the shallow and tranquil waters of Tomari Beach in Ine, or experience the enchanting beauty of Yuhigaura Beach in the Kyotango region, complete with a driftwood swing and breathtaking sunsets. Conversely, the neighboring Tango Matsushima Outlook offers spectacular views of the coastline, particularly enchanting during sunset.
