Overview

Depart from Osaka and embark on a limited journey through Kansai and Kyoto, blending culture and nature. Explore three distinctive destinations in one day, then return to Osaka effortlessly, arriving by private car to save time and maximize enjoyment. Miyama Thatched Village in Kyoto's Miyama-cho Kayabuki no Sato: This is the main village of Miyama, boasting 40 thatched-roof houses, making it Japan's largest cluster of thatched dwellings. It has been designated as an important national traditional building preservation district. It embodies the essence of traditional Japanese "gassho-zukuri" architecture, with layers of thatched roofs resembling a fairy-tale village. Amanohashidate, one of "Japan's Three Scenic Views" From the observation deck, the narrow sandbar stretches across the bay like a bridge to heaven. Under the autumn clear sky, the sea shimmers with sparkling waves, and the trees on the sandbar are tinged with light yellow. Every photo taken here is sure to go viral on social media. For a more immersive experience, you can walk along the path to the sandbar and enjoy the sea breeze and the tranquility of nature. Ine Funaya Ine Funaya, known as "Japan's Venice" and "the most beautiful seaside village": Over 230 double-story wooden boathouses (funaya) stretch for 5 kilometers along Ine Bay. The first floor houses fishing boats and opens directly to the bay, while the second floor serves as the residents' living quarters. At high tide, the houses appear to float on the water. You can stroll along the coastline to see the funaya reflected in the water, take a sightseeing boat for a closer look from the sea, or savor freshly caught seafood at the small shops along the shore, experiencing the slow pace of life in this ancient fishing village.
